The issue of maintenance, using Disk Defragmenter, Windows 7.

Last routine of the disk analysis showed disc [part] 5% fragmented system. All other areas fine and at 0%. If I try to analyze or defragment the system disk, starts for a split second and then jump back in again. User Guide said that this drive will not defragment if nothing else has exclusive access to disk? Don't know what it means, how to identify what blocks and how to get around it.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Exactly what partition you try to defragment? It would be not reserved system would it?

  • Cannot run the computer virtual created using converter on Windows Server 2003

    Thus, in preparing to begin to make the trip fully virtualized server infrastructure that we take the step of baby from the conversion of a print server must be on the virtual world.

    I made use of VMWare Converter (5.0.1 or whatever the latest version is) on the box. This is a Windows 2003 Server R2, Standard Edition. Again, all made of this box is for a work of print server. I just wanted to see if using the converter on the machine would work.

    The conversion process took place without a hitch and the files created from it have been moved to the server in question. Thus, in Fusion, I try to open the said. VMX associted with the new converted file server and I have hit with:

    VMware Fusion cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure that you have the rights to run the program, access to all directories of the program uses and access all directories for temporary files.

    So, I assumed that it was strictly a permissions problem. I used and checked the 'Info' to the parent directory section and apply permissions to the included items. All permissions wise, seems to be as it should and yet it is the same error each time.

    So, I guess I'm just not sure why it did not work. My only experience with converter has so far been on desktop computers, and they have always worked without problem in Fusion.

    BTW have you tried to uninstall/reinstall VMware Fusion and reboot after each even if not invited?  Note that VMware Fusion of uninstalling/reinstalling does not remove Virtual Machines.

  • How to restore deleted Disk Defragmenter icon

    I recently had my Disk Defragmenter icon left the tools for the Office System. I accidentally deleted the icon a few days later and I also ran a disk clean up. Now when I try to use Disk Defragmenter, windows says that the shortcut does not exist. Also, I tried to open (defrag.exe). However, once I open it, a pop window and it is black with words, and then it disappears. I want to use the Windows Disk Defragmenter, but without the icon how ever can I use again. Pls help me as soon as possible

    Hi Clay9477,

    'defrag.exe' you tried to open is the version 'command prompt' Defragmenter is why it suddenly appears, then disappears. To use this version, you will need to open it from the command prompt.

    To open Disk Defragmenter, you're used to click the Start button and in the search box type: "dfrgui.exe" (without the quotes). This will launch the Disk Defragmenter. If you want to add the Disk Defragmenter icon to your desktop simply right-click on 'dfrgui.exe' and select 'copy' then paste it on your desktop. To add it to your Start menu, right click on ' dfrgui.exe and select "Show to the start menu."

  • Unable to use the Disk Defragmenter tool in Windows XP

    Original title: I use windows xp why used my computer open the disk defragmentation

    If I try to open the disk defrag it says the file isint there.

    Hi Gabrella,

    I'm glad to know that you've posted queries in Microsoft communities.

    According to the description, it looks like you aren't able to open the disk defragmentation in Windows XP.

    I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

    Method 1:

    Try the fixit and the steps mentioned in this link and check.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314848

    Method 2:

    There are several reasons why the built-in defragmentation may not work correctly:

    Step 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.

    Step 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).

    Step 3. There may be malware on the PC
    Solution - run the Antivirus and Antispyware scans (can take a long time if ever made. Be patient):

    Viruses can cause these problems. Scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which allows to get rid of viruses, spyware and software malware.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expire after 10 days from the date of installation.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Step 4. 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).

    Step 5. 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 Win 7 disable the ability to run the built defragmentation tool in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

    Step 6. Disk Defragmenter is no longer 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 defragmentation tool

    A:
    a. open the "Start" menu.and click run.
    b. type '% Windir%\Inf'

    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 files to Defrag.

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue. For any help about Windows, you can still post on the Microsoft Community.

  • I started to run Disk Defragmenter on my laptop with Windows Vista to 7:45 last night. She is still ongoing at 10:55 the next day. That is what it is? I can't believe that it takes more than 12 hours to defragment a hard drive.

    Defragmenter

    Hi Augie,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    1. you run defrag disk for the first time?

    Disk Defragmenter is a tool that rearranges the data on your hard drive and brings together fragmented files so that your computer can run more efficiently. We must keep in mind that the Disk Defragmenter uses disk access low priority and processor so that it is not influence your current running programs. This automatically translates a slower process. Disk defragmentation can take a long time if you run it for the first time and also depend on the space of hard disk and available data. If may take up to 15-16 hours, depending on the data and the bad clusters on the hard drive.

    Try the suggested methods.

    Method 1

    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 2

    You can run a disk scan command to remove bad sectors on the hard drive, then run Disk Defragmenter.

    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the sur l' onglet tab Tools and then, under error-checking, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select automatically fix file system errors and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  • Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the Volume: C:. Please run Chkdsk /f.

    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 dirty

    Type "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.
