• Unable to use the Disk Defragmenter tool in Windows XP

  Original title: I use windows xp why used my computer open the disk defragmentation

  If I try to open the disk defrag it says the file isint there.

  Hi Gabrella,

  I'm glad to know that you've posted queries in Microsoft communities.

  According to the description, it looks like you aren't able to open the disk defragmentation in Windows XP.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

  Method 1:

  Try the fixit and the steps mentioned in this link and check.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314848

  Method 2:

  There are several reasons why the built-in defragmentation may not work correctly:

  Step 1. The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  Step 2.

  The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  Step 3. There may be malware on the PC
  Solution - run the Antivirus and Antispyware scans (can take a long time if ever made. Be patient):

  Viruses can cause these problems. Scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which allows to get rid of viruses, spyware and software malware.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expire after 10 days from the date of installation.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Step 4. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

  Step 5. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with it in standard mode and stalking the interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Win 7 disable the ability to run the built defragmentation tool in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

  Step 6. Disk Defragmenter is no longer on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

  There are several ways to re - install the built-in defragmentation tool

  A:
  a. open the "Start" menu.and click run.
  b. type '% Windir%\Inf'

  c. in the window that opens, find the file named «dfrg.inf»
  d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

  B:
  a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
  b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
  3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

  C:
  a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
  b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
  c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing files to Defrag.

  Keep us updated on the status of the issue. For any help about Windows, you can still post on the Microsoft Community.

  Hello

  Run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

• Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

  Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

  There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

  It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

  System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

  Kind regards

  Hello Lorin,

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  Delete files using disk cleanup

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

  System restore

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

   

  NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

  a. close all running programs.

  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

  d. Select "start Task Manager".

  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

• QUESTION ABOUT DISK DEFRAGMENTATION

  My computer must be turned on when I do the program "Disk Defragmentation? It is planned to make the service on some time each month, however, I don't always have the computer at this time.

  To do a disk defrag, your computer must be on a Buddha (not on standby).

  Some computers have a program that you can use to set a date and once your computer turns on automatically. In most cases, this parameter can be set in a menu before loading the Windows operating system.
