Reserve system is at 17% fragnented... Can I defragment?

Hello

What version of the operating system you are using on the computer?

You can leave the box reserved only system. System reserved partition contains startup files and is not used when Windows starts.  There is no need to Defrag. It will not degrade the performance of your system. Disk Manager does not allow you to delete this partition because they remove this partition could force the system to no boot. System reserve partition can also mean where the operating system is installed on. It may be the C: drive as well.

  • Can reserved system defragment?

    Running Windows 7.  I have a question about defragmentation. First of all, no problem of claning and Defrag the C drive.  Second, I noticed that 5% is fragmented "System Reserved".  My system won't let me analyze or defrag from this area.  Why does it shows 5%
    fragmented?  Should I leave it alone, or is there a way to defragment this area?

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Don't worry about the reserved area.  It is not a problem that you may not defragment.  It will not degrade the performance of your system. Bob Larson Access MVP

  • Removal of the reserve system and PQSERVICE during the clean reinstall of Windows 7

    IM about to format my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 using the windows 7 CD that I bought. I see a number of partitions:

    Disk 0 partition 1: PQSERVICE

    Disk 0 partition 2: System reserves

    Disk 0 partition 3: Acer

    Disk 0 partition 4: DATA

    I would like to reinstall also costs as possible

    Can I delete Disk 0 Partition 1: PQSERVICE and Disk 0 partition 2: RESERVE SYSTEM

    I think PQSERVICE provides stuff like the drivers for my ACER desktop computer requires. However I already downloaded the ACER site using my serial number. I'm more concerned about the reserve of the system parition.

    I got response would be much appreciated. I'm not to make a terrible mistake.

    Thank you

    your PC had no any CD to re - install because it is inside the PQSERVICE partition, you must make the CD yourself using Acer erecovery tool.

    without PQSERVICE and create this partition with Acer erecovery CD/DVDs you will not be able to restore factory default.

    If you don't want or need it, simply clear all the HARD drive and go with a simple installation of windows 7, PQSERVICE and system restore are not needed, the system restore is not created from the new facility.

    The drivers are downloadable as you have already found.

  • Can't Defrag 'System' on my HP Pavilion desktop computer

    I can't defragment 'System' on my HP desktop.  I use Windows 7.

    C: OS is 0%, D: Recovery is 0%, but the system shows 38% and I can't analyze or defragment the system.  The CPU is running slower & I'm getting a little frustrated.

    Hello

    The system partition should not be défragmentée - it contains startup and recovery environment Windows 7 files and will always show as fragmented which is perfectly normal.  Also it has no effect on the performance of your operating system.

    On the problem of performance, try the following.

    In the Menu start, open the all programs, open accessories, right-click on command prompt and select "run as Administrator".  In at the prompt, type the following command and press ENTER.

    sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

    Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

    Then, click on the Start Menu, click computer, left click Local disk C once to highlight, right-click on Local C drive and select Properties.  Click the Tools tab and then click on the button "check the drive for errors.  In the next window make sure that both boxes are checked, then click Start.  Right plan the audit on the next reboot of the system, and then restart the laptop - this process can take several hours before the load in Windows.

  • Two operating systems on my Dell; How can I now run Vista?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 s. He has XP and Vista (I think; Windows Vista sticker on the front of the PC and Vista Ultimate OEM sticker on the top with a 20-digit product key. Reference called Dell and they said I should have a drive with the system Vista on it. Can find looked at her top and bottom with no.. Is there a way I can get a DL of Vista with product key without having to pay (again)?

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hello

    There is no free and legal Vista download

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    I have a g6 Pavilion. I have more than three quarters of my unused hard drive space. I scanned for virus etc using my Norton 360.

    When I defragment my disk, HP support assistant allows me to defragment my C drive but not my SYSTEM drive, which is now 5% frag. This frag appeared last week.

  • Can not defragment lecteurC - needs 15% free space. What else can I remove or delete?

    I can't defragment my disk hard because I need 15% free space and have only 12%.  It is a Dell Dimension 2300, aged about 10 years.  I run Disk Cleanup and delete everything I can think and moved large files on an external hard drive. When I go into Add/Remove Programs, I see things that take a lot of space, but I don't know what I can delete.  Can I remove old Service Pack updates or together should they stay?  What can I do else? Help!

    Your report raises a number of problems. You will need to apply to each of them in turn.

    You have three user accounts created. Andrealynn, the Animal and JoJo. This means that when run you disk cleanup you must login as each user in turn and run Disk Cleanup to remove unwanted files. I have already mentioned cCleaner. This will clean all at once.

    I think you should look at unwanted desktop shortcuts.

    Outlook Express is another source of wasted space.

    You must empty the deleted items folder. Right click on the deleted items folder, and then select "empty folder deleted items.

    Records of your Inbox and sent items should be used to store messages for a short period. Large system files are prone to corruption, and then you lose messages. It is much safer to keep themessages in a created Local user folder.

    Your box of reception and sent items folders hold only messages waiting
    moving up to you to move. Have not all subfolders of the
    Inbox.In Outlook Express, move the cursor over the local folders and select
    File, folder, New and name your new folder AASent. Move all messages
    your items sent to the folder AASent folder. Repeat if you have
    created subfolders of the sent items folder.

    You can control the process of compaction by at a time that suits

    Compaction could earn a good amount of disk space.

    A parameter that might be useless by default is that for temporary internet
    files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. The
    default allocation is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude offline
    you could bring this to 1% or 2% of the copies. In Internet Explorer, select

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Implement
    5%, which should be sufficient. In Windows Explorer, move the cursor
    on your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and
    Move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to avoid leaving to

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with
