• HP - 14 r-226TX: Disk Fragmentation

  I have used avg antivirus and this is what makes that your hard drive is fragmented and it will slow down your pc and requires disk defragmentation. I don't know what it is, should I do it or not and if I do it really does speed up my pc and what software can I use for this purpose.

  This has been a debate in the world for a while. If it's a mechanical hard disk, it can't hurt to defragment. The best free program because it is a named defraggler.

  Defrag speed up startup time to a certain extent. Never to defragment a SSD, however.

• What is the Scratch disk fragmentation?

  I edit TIFF image with many layers that range in size from 50 MB to 90 MB. With only 4 GB of RAM, my system relies heavily on the performance of work for these large files disk. I have a SATA HDD internal nonsystem with a volume of 80 GB dedicated as a scratch disk.

  I read that it is important that the work disk is defragmented. I also heard that Macs defragment automatically, less than 20MB files that I think not helps me a lot.

  My questions are, does Photoshop CS4 remove/delete the files on the drive to work after an editing session ends and PS is closed and then starts with a 'clean slate' when reopened? Or do all work record drop just stack upward into pieces over time, which tend to fragment the drive working? If so, should the work disk be reformatted (erased) on a regular basis? Thank you.

  Fragmentation doesn't matter much on a dedicated volume.

  "Scratch disks" tend to fragment if they are shared with other files (the operating system, data files, etc.).

  Zero access is pretty random, so defragmentation does not have a big difference.

  And if the files are deleted, the disc is not any fragmentation of talk anyway.

  Yes, scratch your files are deleted when the application terminates, or even when it crashes.  Absolute worst case, is that the OS will clean up files when the system restarts.

  So, if you have a dedicated scratch disk: don't worry about this.

  If your scratch disk is shared with the operating system and other pieces: well, if you are concerned about performance, you might want to it from time to time, defragment or buying a dedicated disk...

• Windows 8: optimize the disk - system: shows must be optimized (29% fragmented), but it won't work.

  New Toshiba (bought in April) - Windows 8:

  Optimize disks - C: disk fragmented hard watch OK - 0%; Recovery: shows OK - 0% fragmented; System: shows-must be optimized (29% fragmented), but it won't work. Watch 'works' for just a second, it does nothing. All drives are set to optimize automatically, but he never has. Should I be worried? What can I do?

  Hello

  I recommend you to run the check disk (chkdsk). To do this, follow the steps below:

  a. press Windows key + X.

  b. open a window prompt administration commands.

  c. at the command prompt, type the following command.

  Chkdsk volume: / f/r

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

• software problem with windos vista home basic microsoft disk defragmentation.

  Disk Defragmenter does not work on the calendar. Planning of the disk defragmentation is enabled, but does not as expected. I manually defragment. How can I fix?

  Hello

  The Vista defrag works quietly in the background without intervention on your part

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942092

  In Windows Vista, there are a lot of improvements in the defrag engine and handling of fragmentation. By default, Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to automatically keep the defragmented hard drive. This Automatic defragmentation does not affect the performance of the Windows Vista operating system...

  If you want to use a much better defragmentation program which is free and where you can see the results, I suggest this one:

• C drive still fragmented

  We have a Pentium 4 XP family, the defragmentation program included is Diskeeper Lite.  The computer runs very slowly and when defragment you it takes 2-5 minutes to complete and looking a ton of fragmented files.

  We tried "Auslogics Disk Defrag" and the result is the same.  We basucally use the computer for emails with Outlook Express.

  You can run defrag every day and it still takes 2-5 minutes to complete with a bunch of fragmented files.

  Any suggestions

  Thanks Manyt Aqua Info

  In a system like Windows XP disk fragmentation is not so much a problem. I found that the native XP Disk Defragmenter program is sufficient.

• defrag and chkdsk __will works is not due to a disk volume error__

  Hello. Windows xp home edition. Defrag works is not due to an error of volume and chkdsk is scheduled, but does not. restore only has a point in there for some reason any and tried, but will not fix the problem. ran chkdsk only, would not end because of the mistake of volume. How can I correct the mistake of volume and the chkdsk to run with restart and defragmentation without restore complete system.

  Hello

  Try running chkdsk from the recovery console and then try to make the disk fragmentation.

  Note: /r locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  a. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.

  Note: Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.

  b. when the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.

  Note: If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.

  c. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.

  d. at the Recovery Console prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

  Chkdsk /r drive

  e. allow it to run intact until the completion (45 min or more)

  f. report any error

• Windows Vista Home Premium - Disk Defragmenter will analyse but not defragment

  Windows Vista Home Premium Disk Defragmenter does not work properly.  It will analyze the disks and say they need to be defragmented, but when I click "Defragment now" he begins to analyze again.  It keeps analyzing and telling me to defragment however it defragments never really.  Please PLEASE HELP - it's so frustrating. Thank you =)

  Hi islgrl10,

  Alternatively, you can also view the partition on which you try to run disk defragmentation, it may be corrupt or have some bad sectors that might have prevented disk defragmentation utility runs successfully.

  To check for errors on a partition,

  1. click on Start button, and then type command prompt and run as administrator.
  2. in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and press to enter.
  3. When you are asked to plan the check disk on the next reboot, type 'y' or 'Yes' and restart your computer to run the utility chkdsk on your computer.

  Kind regards

• PERC 710 add physical disks for RAID 5 virtual disk and keep data

  I think to set up a physical disk 4 RAID 5 array on my new PowerEdge T320.  That should give me enough space to last long.  I have two empty slots of HD.  If I need more space, later, I'll be able to add one or two additional physical disks without losing the data already on the virtual disk?  If so, how?  I don't see a way to do this in the manual of Perc 710.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Yes, it is "doable" later.  This can be done in the PERC BIOS, but it can be done in OMSA (OpenManage Server Administrator) within the OS.

  One thing to keep in mind is the limit of 2 TB "floppy" Windows on BIOS systems compatible.  If you plan to 4x4TB disks in a RAID 10, that TB ~ 8 'disc' will be converted to the GPT and BIOS UEFI boot mode value.

• Keep a clean, safe and very efficient machine...

  Keeping a clean and safe system is equivalent to good performance. How do you do that? There are several things you should do to ensure the best possibility to keep a clean, safe and very efficient machine:

  (1) install anti-malware software

  • There are a few very good available 'Free' programs that are fully automated and will help keep your system protected against malicious software. Some of them are listed here... .click on the link "Free Security Software links Index", then click on the link "Anti-virus".

  (2) safe online practice

  • "" Safe surfing"you really thinking very little. Using common sense can help here. Avoid unscrupulous websites. The "Web Of Trust" help you identify many of those if you CAN avoid the.

  (3) maintenance

  • Maintain your system by performing a disk cleanup and defragmentation on a regular basis.

  Maintenance requires some planning. Your system accumulates debris on the web. "Debris", in the sense that many of these files are not necessary keep.

  Get rid of this debris is a simple process. Microsoft Windows users will find the free utilities provided by Microsoft, in all "platforms", are very useful in helping users keep their systems. Those who are, disk cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. "You can find these tools by going to.
  All Programs--> Accessories--> System Tools

  .. the are friendly and easy to use. However, I would like to clear up some confusion regarding the utility "Defragmenter". Many users will neglect a defragmentation of the system according to the results of analysis. I would like to address the:
  "You don't need to defragment this volume."
  .. .message referring to analysis of defragmentation.

  You see, when Microsoft wrote that the utility for the Windows platform, there are two targets to consider. Those who are home and business users. Two very large markets, with very different "needs". Effort and the goal was to reach a middle ground by estimating the thresholds which would continue to work well for both customer bases without causing performance issues significant for no more, if one or the other duty live of these thresholds.

  If I explained that well, then you might understand that the 'threshold' Microsoft chose for defragmentation utility will report either customer when fragmentation reached... Let's say it's about 20% (I don't really know WHAT it is, but I don't know it's wide enough) and anything under that will be reported as:
  "You don't need to defragment this volume."

  All this means, really, is that you can delay a defragmentation when an analysis of the analysis returns such a message... but that certainly does not mean that you shouldn't defrag.

  As a general rule, I perform a full system defrag when my file fragmentation is over 3%. For me, it's about twice a week. For you, let's say they occur once a month. I don't know, only you, but you have to keep an eye on her (make ita habit) and see how long it takes to know your fragmentation at this level. It can vary greatly, because it depends on the number of files you create or delete and what type of applications that you run in a "normal" user session

  E-mail, for example, is an application (if native or not) that causes the creation and deletion of files on the hard drive. If you use an online email client, think to "from the browser's cache" with regard to the number of emails downloaded and deleted. These are all files that are fragmented, they are on the hard disk, or make up the garbage in the browser cache, makes no difference... it's all the disk space again regardless of how you think of it.

  Remember, even if you have your browser empty the temporary files when you close the value, the size of this file "dump" can waver, in order to clear the cache at the closing, the browser did perform better than the next browser session but does nothing to appease the disk fragmentation.

  You see, if you do this, the system works well on each of its sessions.

  In summary, install anti-virus software, surf safe practice and maintain your computer. Don't forget to clean the disc first, then perform the defragmentation otherwise you will sort the waste so that the free space fragmented and files.

  Keep in mind these principles and your system will perform well give you years of enjoyable computing.

  Great tips! Thanks for sharing.

• Office 2013 on Win7 using bootcamp has delay time

  I use Win 7 teacher on a piece of Macbook Air 2014 with bootcamp 5 and MS Office 2013. Up to 4 weeks everything works well, and the performance was great. And then I got the delay time:

  -Closing remarks is the longest in about 4-5 sec

  -editig one Excel cell and switch to another will cost about 4 to 5 sec

  - and so on

  Thanks to this performance, it is horrible to work. I have also removed Office and install it again without any result.

  Anyone have some advice for me? Is there some patches in which software never cause this?

  Or am I alone with this?

  THX in advance

  Frank

  Your is no longer in a Mac environment, if this side of "windows" because you're not virtualize, you run Windows as a complete solution for Windows. OS X doesn't play not any part of your experience. Windows as OS X should be updated with patches and update securities, the latter is the only support Windows offers for Version 7, it is out of development and was removed by Microsoft for more than a year. All compatibility fixes should come from Microsoft, see microsoft.com for the availability of these.

  Outside the correction and the issues pourraient be caused by:

  Disk fragmentation that is common in windows. (However it is not under OS X, don't defrag on Mac, OS updates will do everything if it you better than anything you can buy)

  hard disk-ragmenting https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/help/17126/Windows-7-improve-performance-def

  Font management (again, on the side of 'Windows', your OS X fonts do not play in this)

  3rd party Windows applications, such as anti-virus and the litany of bloatware inherent with Windows. Windows has a startup mode for troubleshooting.

  We cannot help here as well. There is no way to change the graphics chip. It is soldered to the motherboard. You have the Radeon HD 7670 M 1 GB dedicated video that's actually pretty good for a laptop. I think there may be another motherboard with a 2 gig of essentially the same video chip version but the cost vs benefit of such upgrade would be unwise. Huge cost, very little improvement.

• Notebook dv6 HP Envy: D drive of available space

  D drive has only 2.5 GB free of 25.6 GB.  I know that this disc contains recovery files.  Is the amount of space remaining a problem and I can do anything in order to free up more space?  Laptop is 2 years old and has started to run a little slow.

  When you request assistance, please provide the product name and/or full HP number the model computer. The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, underneath the battery, or the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number.

  As a general rule, the "D:" drive is a partition on a single hard drive in an HP computer. This recovery Partition contains the information needed to create HP recovery media and begin the process of restoration of HP. The amount of free space is correct for this type of partition, and nothing should be added or deleted from this partition.

  Any delay is likely to be associated with the number of files on the 'C:' disk, fragmentation or State of the operating system.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  Hi djs755ma,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  Following the suggestions below would be useful to keep your computer working well.

  1. I suggest you to start your computer in safe mode and perform the boot whether if any software is causing this issue.

  2 safe mode is a diagnostic mode of windows that starts your computer with the required services necessary to start your computer.

  3. restart your computer and press F8 key continuously when the system starts and before the windows logon screen appears.

  4. you will be prompted with advanced options, select Safe mode to enter.

  After that, you perform the clean boot which is a System Configuration utility to determine if a any software causes this problem.

  1. Please read this article which talks about starting clean and how to perform,
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  Alternatively, you can run the Chkdsk utility that checks for bad sectors on your hard drive and fix them.

  1. open the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and plan the check disk for the next reboot.
