Regular disk defragmentation does not intervene. Computer can be in mode "sleep" during the defragmentation?

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.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

Note: 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.

  1. Click Start, type taskschd.msc and press enter.
  2. In the left pane, click the arrow next to the Task Scheduler Library, Microsoftand Windows to expand the folders.
  3. Click the defrag folder.
  4. In the center pane, right-click on ScheduledDefrag and click Properties.
  5. Click the general tab.
  6. Check the box run with the highest privileges .
  7. Click the Conditions tab.
  8. Check the box to enable the computer to run this task and click OK.
  9. 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.

  • Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

    Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

    Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

    On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

    The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

    Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

    Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

    If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.
    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

    It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

    Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

    If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called winhttp when the name of the file should really be called winhttp.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  • Disk cache does not

    I use the add-on for the status of the Cache and noticed last week that the disk cache half of it shows 'not yet loaded. At first I thought that the problem was with the add-on, I even uninstalled and re-installed, but still got the same message. Then I realize that the error was because the disk cache is not active somehow.

    The upgrade to 11.0 FF last week, I made no changes to my configuration or installed any new Add-ons in weeks. I have a few additional modules related to the cache that I installed because I noticed this problem, in fact to diagnose this problem. All in their own way reiterates that the disk cache does not work.

    The page about: cache? device = disk is completely blank in my browser. The purpose: cache page only displays the information of the cache and hide offline (i.e. 0, since I have it is off).

    I added a "Cache" folder in my profile, and he has not made a difference.

    No, I did not order my disk cache folder to a different location on my hard drive.

    No, I'm not in navigation mode private unless there is a way to get in without my knowledge. With the menu editor I removed options incognito in my menus for a long time, since I never use it. He has also not checked in Options - Advanced - Privacy.

    Yes, I have checked all the cache-related on: configuration settings. Everything is as it should be activated and assigned to a certain size of the disk cache.

    How can I get this working again? It's a bit missing folder manually add to my profile, and if so, what is the path?

    This behavior is a feature, not a bug. When the "clear history of firefox closing" setting is selected, the option to clear the cache too, the disk cache is completely disabled. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709262 for more information.

    It took me a while to understand this one.

    Hello

    1. The hard drive is recognized in another computer?

    If this isn't the case, then the problem could be the hard drive itself. If he is found, then the problem is in your computer. In this case, run the diskpart.exe utility.

    Use the list partition command and see if the partition is detected. If so, then I suggest you to format the drive in diskpart.

    However, take a return of all data on the hard drive before the format by plugging it into another computer. Help with backup data, see

    Backup: what, how, where

    http://www.Microsoft.com/protect/data/backup/about.aspx

    To use the Diskpart.exe utility, follow these steps:

    1. type diskpartand press ENTER to open the diskpart tool.

    2. type list diskand press ENTER. A list of available hard disks.

    3. type select disk =[n]

    n s Specifies the number of disc the disc to receive the focus.

    4. type list partition

    This command displays the partitions listed in the table to partition on the current drive.
    5. type select partition =[d]

    This command selects the specified partition and gives it the focus.

     d s Specifies the drive letter or mount point path of the partition to receive the focus.

    6. type format drive: / FS: NTFS/Quick

    For more information about commands, see

    A Description of the Diskpart command-line utility
