Question of Disk Defragmenter
Original title: back to top
Is there a setting to weekly automatic triggering of minimum defrag in Win7/64
I would like to chime,
I believe that if we should open the defragmentation and configure a Defrag scheduled unless they also open services and parade to Defrag and click on > properties > startup type, I believe that by default is manual, should be changed to automatic or automatic (delayed start)
On one of my machines, I have noticed this problem under W7 Home Premium
Maybe it's the OP's question.

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).
If you have scheduled a moment when the computer is not on the value, it will not turn on your computer to do either.
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.
NOTE: Not all computers are built with this feature.

complete the question was in my title.thank you
When you try to defragment a volume and 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 verification or suggestions for changes to the registry to make changes is 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 dirtyIs 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 will be not also solve this problem by editing your registry database (pay attention technical support engineers and moderators of Forum)-is not 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 your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit (this will usually do the trick).
Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

I know this question has been asked several times, but I did these steps and still not get Defragmenter to work. My Disk Doctor said I don't have problems with my Defragler work program - but I don't have a C: drive not 'dirty '. I have Windows XP Home Edition and do not know how to run an XP Recovery Console. Y at - it an easy way just to get the Defragmenter to work?... when I run Chkdsk... It goes through stages and then closes and the problem is still there. Defragmenter just stopped working, my computer everything works fine. Help, please.
Hmmm... It should only take a few minutes for ImgBurn to create the bootable XP Recovery Console CD, then maybe one of the songs that you have downloaded (xp_rec_con.iso or install IgmBurn) won't quite right.
You want ImgBurn to play a happy tune when it is successful and a "Oh no!" message when it fails, but it shouldn't take hours to burn this ISO file bit. You can try another system. You can always uninstall ImgBurn when finished.
I say 'be patient' when you run the chkdsk /r command because sometimes it seems to be stuck (or even go back), but it should end later. Depending on the volume size, the amount of data on the volume, the speed of your system and what the chkdsk finds to do, you can watch several hours.
Look at these words from the mouth of Microsoft:
If you use chkdsk /f on a drive or drives for very large (for example, 70 gigabytes) with a very large number of files (for example, millions of files), chkdsk may take a long time (for example, over several days) to complete. The computer is not available during this time because chkdsk does not relinquish control until it is completed.
At the time of this writing, I'm guessing a disc 70 GB was "very large" but it is quite modest by today's standards.
Now with today's technology, it is unlikely to take days, but it could still take some time! If your HARD drive is afflicted with a problem material and dying, it can never finish or be unable to fix things.
To start XP, it automatically checks each volume to see if it is dirty and will try to run chkdsk from the afflicted volumes. Sometimes, it's good enough to clear the dirty bit, sometimes it isn't. You will see a message at startup if the volume should be checked for consistency and XP will do the best.
That's exactly what the message tells you:
Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.
Click Start, run and enter in the box:
cmd
Click OK to open the command prompt window.
To query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:
fsutil dirty query C:
The sample output:
Volume c is dirty
Volume C: is dirtyType "exit" to close the command prompt window.
If you are suspicious of your HARD drive and think it might be failing, now would be a good time to backup your personal data (documents, pictures, music, etc.) to an external location - a separate attached USB drive or a few clouds on the Internet.

Disk Defragmenter cannot defragment volume HP_recovery (D)
There are 40% of free space on the C: drive. There are 13% space available on HP_Recovery (D). To function effectively, disk defragmentation requires 15% of usable space. It is said to remove some unnecessary files on the hard drive, but he has little left to delete files. I don't know what to do to be able to defragment the HP_Recover (D); that is fragmented btw, horribly.
Help? I'm not very savvy computer.

What is your problem and you, why you have one? Something or someone say you?
Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system. Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
What is your Internet browser and version?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, 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)?
What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?
What do not you think that you should see?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.
When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f.. If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps. Can anyone help?
It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.
Provide information on your system, the better you can:

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
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 true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console. That's the short answer.
If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).
On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):
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 :))

Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.
You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.
This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts. If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.
When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:
The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
.
These files can be access only by restarting Windows. You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.
When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock the current drive.Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to be
check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.
When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find. Do not interrupt the disk check. It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck". Be patient. If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something. Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress. It may even seem to go back sometime.
Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log. Look there to see what happened.
When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results. The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.
You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.
To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.
A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:
%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc
Click OK to launch the event viewer.
Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:
Event type: Information
Event source: Winlogon
Event category: no
Event ID: 1001
Description:Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
A disk check has been programmed.
Windows will now check the disk.

If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error. You should have no errors.
If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.
If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information. On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.
When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis. Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.
If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward. It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).
If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.
Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

Why isn't my job to schedule Disk Defragmenter?
From: SpiderMan
I use vista professional. I set myself a timetable to run Disk Defragmenter, but it doesn't work at all. Yet, I have another laptop with vista home premium, but the Disk Defragmenter program works well. How is it?

Hi SpiderMan,
Do you have your computer, not in sleep or stop at the scheduled time?
If this isn't the case, then two Option in this tutorial will show you how to set to wake your computer from a mode standby to run Disk Defragmenter. Eventually your computer will be to sleep after the usual idle time you defined in the Power Options.

My family for vista disk defragmentation program premium will not fix. How can I solve this?
When I put the calendar for defragmentation, good times are displayed. When I log out and then log back on "next regular time" is listed as EVER. I can't seem to accept the most updated schedule. When I google this question, I see that it is a common problem for owners of Vista Home Premium
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:
- 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.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

Queries on running Disk Defragmenter
I put my computer to run at the scheduled time every month Disk Defragmenter, but as I am not the kind of person who normally prevents their pc on all day, I find that the programme rarely works. Recently, I ran a manual defragmentation ' but it took several hours. When the program began, I had a spinning cursor indicating that the defragmentation process is running. A few hours later, the rotation slider disappeared and a symbol of the tick has indicated that the scheduled defragmentation has been activated. However, I am not convinced that the program has completed successfully. I say it's because I don't have a message that the program was complete. Nor I have gave me the option to view a report.
I would appreciate help with the following: -.
(1) of the information given, it does not appear that the program competed properly?
(2) for the delivery of the program, I avoided to use the pc (outside playing CD on Windows Media Player). I also disabled the function of sleep, I read that it slows the defragmentation? Is it correct, and must also be turned off the display screen and the screen saver?
(3) when a scheduled defragmentation takes place, is their any indication to that effect, or it's running in the background?
(3) what happens if a scheduled defrag starts and is then interrupted for any reason any. He continues the next time the computer is turned on? Or it starts from scratch?
(4) ideally, how often should launch Disk Defragmenter?
I would be grateful for any help you can give, as I consulted him several Web sites and computer books but have found no answer to these questions.

Thanks a lot for clearing that for me.

Disk Defragmenter does not open in Windows 7
Since I started using Norton, Disk Defragmenter does not work and my computer is very slow. How can I me Defrag to work and to speed up my computer?
There are 2 issues here:
1 Defragmenter does not
2 PC is slow.If the disk is very fragmented, it can cause the PC to run poorly, so let's handle defrag first and then we can look at the additional steps to speed it up.
There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:
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.
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).
3. There may be malware on the PC
Solution - run the Antivrus, then Antispyware scans (can take a long time if ever made. Be patient):
a. analysis of the entire system with the anti-virus & manage everything that exists;
b. analysis of the entire system with Anti-Spyware & manage everything that exists;4. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:
a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").5. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. 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."6. 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).
7. 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 Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.
8. Disk Defragmenter may no longer be 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 Defragmenter:
A:
a. open the menu 'start '.
b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
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 Defragmenter files.Most of the problems will be resolved in #6 above, but if not and if your windows installation is otherwise works well, consider downloading a free trial of a commercial defragmentation tool rather than the drastic measures to restore the frame-s functionality.
Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.
Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...9 here is a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:

a. Select a program and install it. The best defrag programs are automatic and the top placers in the foregoing analysis can defragment everything using the PC. Place it at the top of the page was the only defragmentation program preventing fragmentation (see comment).
b, readers to defragment your drive.The PC should improve speed, as the above steps are performed. Here are additional steps to optimize PC for speed:
10. make sure that your PC has as much memory (RAM) as possible.
Solution - Know how much RAM your PC:
a. go to start > right click on 'Computer' > properties
b. this list the type of processor and speed and how much RAM is installed, and what version of windows is running and the Service Pack. Sign it, because it may be necessary later.
c. search your PC name and model # followed by 'memory' and see what is listed. This tells you what type of memory you need and how many "Sticks" your PC will accept.
d. get the maximum amount of memory your computer can contain and install it. Search for "how to install memory on one (your model name and #)" to find videos on how to do this if necessary.11. make sure that the registry is clean.
Solution: Get and run a good registry cleaner.
a. check to see if there is a registry cleaner already in the system;
b. otherwise, download CCleaner here: http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/
c. run the registry cleaner until he finds and corrects any errors.Note: Be careful with registry cleaners as there are many autour with new ones coming all the time with some would have been causing more damage than they help. Use a proven reliability.
CCleaner is one of the originals and very safe.
Once all this is done, your PC will be in the best possible shape.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions (ask your questions and I will then answer best I can).

PS: If after all that, the PC is still not doing well, repair may involve repairing the windows installation and possibly re - install windows itself. These aren't simple solutions. If so, indicate if and guidelines can be provided.

Why Disk Defragmenter made several passes?
original title: Disk Defragmenter
Why Disk Defragmenter made several passes?
7 days since the beginning and now the third pass and consolidation.
John
This topic deals with your original question.
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1567990
It is not definitive, but the debate has highlighted a number of points.
Personally, I use Defraggler because it has a better user interface and allows me to better control the defragmentation process.
http://www.Piriform.com/Defraggler
E partition unless you free disk space by 15% while the system will struggle to, if not fail to, defragment the partition. Before Defragmenting, it would be better to increase the available disk space on the partition to about 25%.
Which files contains the partition? The computer is a desktop or laptop computer? What is the hard drive?

Disk defragmentation. will take place every week at 01:00. Computer is in "standby" at that time. Is this why disk frag does not happen every week? When I defragment manually I have to confirm the status of administrator... it would have something to do with it? I use Windows 7 Home Premium.
Hello Lauren,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
I understand that disk defragmentation does not work as expected. When this works even if your computer is in "sleep". Therefore, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Step 1: Check if the Disk Defragmenter service is running.
a. click Start and type services.msc in the search box.
(b) in the Services window, double-click the Disk Defragmenter service.
c. check if the Disk Defragmenter service is set to Automatic Started .Step 2: The question may arise also because of the intervention of third-party software. So, I suggest clean boot of the system and check if the scheduled defragmentation works.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair. "
Method 2:
Try to set the Defragmenter to wake up the computer from the mode "sleep" and check if it works.
- Click Start, type taskschd.msc and press enter.
- In the left pane, click the arrow next to the Task Scheduler Library, Microsoftand Windows to expand the folders.
- Click the defrag folder.
- In the center pane, right-click on ScheduledDefrag and click Properties.
- Click the general tab.
- Check the box run with the highest privileges .
- Click the Conditions tab.
- Check the box to enable the computer to run this task and click OK.
- Close Task Scheduler.
Check if the Defragmenter works to wake up the computer from the mode "sleep" as expected.
If Disk Defragmenter does not at all, then we can see the post from Bill R TechSpec responded on 19 May 2011 in the following thread.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

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
Lorin Boyack
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.
