System drive do not defragment

The player 'System' does not defrag when I run Win7 Disk Defragmenter. Any suggestions on how I can get the system drive to defragment. He is currently 14% of fragmentation.

Hi Mark,

I suggest you temporarily disable your security software to see if she may be the cause of a conflict:

  • install wondows 95 on a xp system, drive will not format or change NTFS in fat

    Hiya,
    Here are the current specifications for my computer,

    Microsoft windows xp professional,
    service pack 3

    Intel pentium 4 cpu 3.00 GHz
    512 MB of RAM

    Basically, I want the computer to work with a windows 95 OS instead of xp, (I have a boot cd)

    I tried different ways to format my hard drive,
    (booting from the xp disk, start the recovery console, giving the correct command request to start the format of drive c while changing storage type of ntfs to fat and when the format is complete I exit console early my computer and my xp is still running with all my files still saved)

    I also tried with the computer in xp by clicking on my computer and try to format the hard drive manually but it gives an error message saying "unable to complete the format".

    I'm to be stupid and do this wrong or is a problem of it is not not possible on my current setup?
    It would be appreciated if someone could help me or come to any solution as to how I can get 95 running if

    Hi Lewiscolli,

    Windows 95 (and their related components) will rise to a status not supported. After this date, Microsoft no longer provides incident support options or security updates. Microsoft does not offer an agreement of support for these products.

    If you have always wanted to install Windows 95 on Windows XP, you can format the disk on which you want to install the new operating system (OS) with the help of the Windows XP disc. You can format the drive in FAT instead of NTFS format, then you can install the Windows 95 operating system using the disc.

    You can follow the below mentioned article for more information:

     

    Choice between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32

    Hope this information help.

  • Drive on which Windows XP to reside is always labeled as a system drive. How can I make one of the other disks that has Vista or 7 that the new system?

    Change the system drive

    I'll try to explain my situation better than I can.

    My situation is that when I used to have XP installed, I had installed the only drive I had back then which is now the drive D, for a long time, so I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit installed on two different discs, Vista is installed on drive C and 7 is installed on drive E , but I don't have XP that I had managed to get rid of it.

    My problem is that the drive on which Windows XP to reside has always left this disc marked as system in the disk management window, and I was wondering how to do that one of the other readers who has Vista or 7 that the new system?

    I already managed to change the startup disk from drive where Vista is installed to, it's just that I need to change the disk that is marked as system to another drive, such as D drive begins to show signs that it comes at the end of his life and I would like to move the startup folder as well as the other files needed to start on the other.

    I assume that you installed Windows XP 1, then Vista, 7 (these 2 OS not in order)?

    And Vista and 7 was by all means upgrade installation?

    Since originally, that you have installed Windows XP on drive D, it should be marked as 'system' and retains so the tag 'system '.

    The volume of the 'system' should be identified as the first primary partition active. It may or may not have the files it contains.

    The fact that the system considers "system drive" does not mean that there are files that it contains.

    Now, you want to delete the existing volume and create a new volume. Needs to be done outside the facility.
    When you start the cd or DVD to start the installation list us readers, if you remove the volume the volume drive letter is already booked, so you get the next available drive letter, do not re-use the deleted volume drive letter.

    If he removed during installation and then recreated as a new volume (formatting does not remove the volume, you need to delete the volume and recreate it)

  • Is that a provision thin good idea system drive?

    Just wonder if it's a good idea to streamline the MS 2012 System Disk (disk C) available?

    One argument is that the system drive does not change frequently.  However, another argument is thin provisioning may impact performance of the system, System especailly drive.

    Your opinion is requested.

    In my opinion, it would depend on the case of the server.

    In case the server is used as an application server and associated application files are still stored on the system disk, which is default, then you should go to the thick provisioning.

    However, if it's going to end up like database/file server where work real files are stored on a separate disk, then you can implement your thin disk system.

    Hi Abhare.The I do this is to:

    (1) stop original vm with the drive of the system you wish to develop

    (2) Open original vm proprieties and extend the original system drive and note what LUN it is stored on the

    (3) Open original vm proprieties and remove the vm system drive (not delete it, just delete)

    (4) open the conveniences of a second vm, add vm existing on the system disk (i.e. navigate LUN to find the original disc of vms system)

    (5) to rescan the disks in second vm

    (6) open a 2nd under vm command prompt and use the diskpart list volume / diskpart select volume # (where # is number of the old vms system disk) extend

  • SYSTEM drive defragment not

    Defrag tool shows all my discs, including a SYSTEM drive that she needs to defragment. However it won't let me not defragment the SYSTEM disk. I click on "Analyze" and it shows 14% fragmented. I click on "Optimize" and the screen flashes and nothing happens. All other disks défragmentent normally, including automatically and manually. This problem occurred under Windows 7 (which was originally on the machine when I bought it) and now Windows 8. I have a HP 580 t and I am system administrator.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The system partition should not be défragmentée - it contains the boot files and recovery for Windows 7 environment and appear always need to defrag so analyzed.  It is also important to note that this "apparent framentation" has absolutely no effect on the performance of your PC.

  • can not defragment my SYSTEM drive

    Hello.

    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.

    Help, please.

    I learned to check for disc defects, I must now do, but if there are no disk errors, what do I do next.

    Thank you.

    You do not touch the system drive - I guess that hereby you are referring to a reserved system or the hidden restore Partition or partition HP tools - any of what you touch/interfere with

  • Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Description of the problem:

    Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Steps to recreate:

    UEFI:

    1. Start the PC in diagnosis system UEFI (F2 at the STATION)
    2. Pane controls
    3. Optical drive
    4. Sequential control
    5. Error: Optical drive not installed.

    8.1 Windows (x 64):

    1. Run Device Manager
    2. Error: No CD/DVD Drives section.
    3. Search for new hardware changes nothing.

    Relevant system specs:

    Mobile: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (construction of vanilla)

    Optical drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n

    Steps already taken to solve:

    • Replaced the DVD drive with one of the similar specs of HP Pavilion. The replaced gn70n perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD player works, and there is no problems with Windows 8.1 (x 64).
    • Removed DVD player. Restarted the computer. Sign in to Windows. Stop. Replace the DVD drive. Start the laptop. This is trying to solve defects of material with the PnP devices; more help to solve any problems of intermittent loose connection. Conclusion: No change.
    • Ran, troubleshooting of hardware and devices, via the control panel. Problem found: material changes may not have been detected. Explore more options just takes you through http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, that it is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Help and Support Windows is sorely lacking. They show no more information than just that something was detected as incorrect.
    • Ran the Microsoft FixIt troubleshooting of optical disc and auto repairman. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The convenience store has reported that the device was not found. He recommended to remove all power cables, power off, and various other things which have no relevance for computer laptop troubleshooting of switching equipment. He said: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows troubleshooting can not solve the problem.
    • Run Windows Update to ensure that all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is perfectly up to date.
    • Run a complete Rootkit and malware using Sbybot S & D 2.3 heuristic analysis. as a signature database scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.

    Notes:

    The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

    The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

    There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

    The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

    The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.

  • Recovery system on Satellite M70-204 PSM71E. The CD/DVD drive does not work

    Hello!

    Can you please give me a help and advice on how to solve the following problems:

    I got on the last minor problems for three months with Windows Installer: software updates may not always be performed successfully, an error message was issued by Windows Installer on Quick Time, when I started the computer. Apart from him, the computer has been properly runing. I was intending to restore the system with the Toshiba CD in the coming weeks to correct the problems.

    But since yesterday, I had a new problem. The CD drive is not recognized in Windows XP.

    I tried to repair the driver from the CD player, following the procedure described by Toshiba. It did not work. I don't know if this is a hardware or a software problem preventing me to recognize and use the CD drive and DVD under Windows XP and I don't know or if I can run even more a restoration process.

    _ * 1 / if I run a restore process, I think that, initially, the HD will be formatted. How can I be sure that my computer will be able to read the data from the Toshiba Recovery CD? * _ (I have today a computer that almost works. I do not want to be stuck with a dead computer, if the restore process fails because of the CD driver)

    _ * 2 / is it possible to restore without using the internal CD player? (using an external CD drive or an external hard drive) * _

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

    I delighted to hear that you solved this Mr. thank you for the comments!

  • W520 - Base system device driver does not

    Greetings.

    This morning at the start of my ThinkPad W520, the player no longer works. A glance in the (Windows 7, 64-bit) Device Manager shows the 'Base system device' and points out that "the drivers for this device are not installed." Trying to get Windows Installer natively drivers does not work. Some googling shows others with similar problems in the past; recommendations include installing a card reader driver Ricoh for Windows XP or Vista; It did not work. Other drivers available include 8ass82ww.exe and 8axv51ww.exe - these don't work. Installation of the own Support Center Lenovo software shows that the Base system device driver is not installed. I can't find a way to install it. I tried installing driver exe files and searching the same files using the browse-for-the window Windows files during the installation of the drivers for the Base system device.

    Seriously, * beep *? I lost more than two hours on Sunday morning trying to solve this problem. It worked yesterday. I did install new software crazy, or any software besides. Why this happens and more importantly, how can I FIX it?

    This morning, ran Windows automatic update; I don't know if the updates were designed to the card reader, but the driver is now installed and the operation of the device. Too many updates to list them all, but thank you all for your help. Between the time I opened this thread and now probably I rebooted my machine 30 times and tried all combinations of drivers + restart. Then, poof, this morning, it is fixed.

  • T420 W7 Base system device driver does not

    Hello

    After reinstalling W7 the lenovo Solution Center complained by saying that the system device driver does not work.

    I saw that the SD card reader was not working and so I covered the missing pilot was that one.

    The Lenovo page I downloaded the driver for the card Multi for W7 and T420 port. After installing the message disappeared and SD cards have been recognized correctly.

    However, after restarting the system, after some time, the message appeared again and the card reader no longer works.

    I have install again and the same happened. He worked and after restarting two has stopped working.

    If find this mysterious altogether. I wonder if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

    I managed to solve the problem. Just in case anyone has the same problem I explain here how I did, although I'm not sure that this solution is universal.

    1 install the drivers from the Lenovo site.

    2. once the system starts to complain from the Device Manager where it says "Base system device" with a question mark. Then disable this device but do not uninstall the driver.

    3 reboot and it will be fixed.

    Original title:

    Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

    Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?
