I can't defragment my hard drive

• I can't defragment my hard drive, even though I cancelled the chkdsk command.

  Whenever I have try to defragment my HARD drive, I get the Error Message: Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on this volume (c). Please run Chkdsk/f. I ran, canceled regular for the C: drive, but I still get the same error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter. What else should I do to fix this?

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

  Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

  If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

  If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.

  If you need help in doing this, I'm sure a technical support engineer can tell you how, and if not, I'll give you instructions.

• Can not defragment my hard drive, stuck at 18%

  Original title: defragment my hard drive.

  Hello, I am running windows 7 pro and cannot defragment my hard drive. He had the same percentage on it seems like forever. 18%.

  my laptop is a few years old and was never Defrag. can someone help me please. Thank you

  Disk cleanup has little benefit unless the disc is more than 50% full.  It's rare.  The vast majority use somewhere around 25% of their disk capacity.  The value of defragmentation is improved performance and rarely has real value by returning more useful disk space.  If the drive is only complete, it is likely to be slow performance and may not even have enough space to perform the defragmentation.

  You want MORE not fewer restore points.  This gives you the best choice when things go wrong.  Here's what I recommend on this subject:

  Restore points

  The amount allocated to the point area by restoration by default in Windows 7 is 3% of the capacity of the disk.  In almost all cases, the computer uses but a small part of the available space.  This makes it very convenient to raise that 3% to say 8-10%.  This strategy will give a lot more restore points that will give you much more flexibility to recover a bad situation.

  To change the award, type create in the text box above the start planet.  Select create a restore point.  Click set up.  Move the slider to the right as you see fit.  Definition it to 50 gigabytes will have no effect if you have a 500 GB drive and use only about 100 or so, which is very typical.

• Cannot defragment the HARD drive

  Hello. I can't defragment my hard drive. After you have installed the CC29 firmware for my 3 TB Seagate drive that vastly improved read/write speeds, I can't defragment. I checked with seatools and Windows errors nothing no problem. The drive is recognized by windows as it is listed in my computer, but when I go to defrag it does not show on the list. I tried Microsoft support and they just offer to fix it for $ 99, that I could buy a new hard drive for it. Thanks in advance for any response.

  Hello

• Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

  I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

  If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

  You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

  If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

  Restart your computer and let chkdsk to run to completion.

  When you start Windows when chkdsk is complete, start Event Viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK)

  Click on 'Request' in the left pane and look for an entry in the pane on the right with the Winlogon "Description."  Double-click on this entry to view chkdsk results.  Click the "Copy" icon (right underneath the up/down arrows) and then paste the chkdsk log in your response here.

• You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

  I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

  You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.
