• Is it possible to schedule automatic defragmentation?

  I want to configure my Windows XP to automatically do a defrag on every two weeks. I tell myself that I have two choices: find some software that will launch the defragment utility supplied with Windows, to find a defragmentation utility that has calendar built in?

  Hi Okieseeker,

  Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555098 Microsoft have very good documentation on schedule disk defragmentation.

  I hope this helps.

• Disk Defragmenter won't start not more

  How can I reactivate this program? It worked fine until weeks ago. Don't know what's happened since then. Thank you.

  Here is the tutorial to schedule disk defragmentation:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/72832-Disk-Defragmenter.html

  However, I would like to recommend a 3rd party defragmentation program. 'S called it Auslogics.

  It's free.
  It allows you to choose the disk to defragment.
  It shows you the progress of the defragmentation display.
  It gives you a report at the end.
  It takes much less time than the program own native defrag Vista.

  It seems that you have been run disc defrag manually.
  My suggestion is to install defrag a regular drive...

  You can "plan" disk defrag to date and time. It will take place at the scheduled time, you set up. In this way, it will run without interrupting your normal computer and without your presence chores.

  Hi Alicia,.

  We would like to know more detail from you to help you better.

  (1) have you tried to run the Disk Defragmenter using Task Scheduler?

  (2) was your computer when you had scheduled disk defragmentation?

  If you use a specific program on a regular basis, you can use the Task Scheduler Wizard to create a task that opens the program for you automatically on the schedule you choose. For the task, automatic disk defragmentation to happen of the computer or the Scheduler to work must be powered on.

  Write us with the details asked. We will be happy to help you come.

• Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

  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

  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.

• I can not defrag.my PC, it is constantly in a X box [Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled

  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 dirty

  Is 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.

• 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.

• Impossible to schedule a later date to run Disk Defragmenter

  At Norton, uninstalled, but I still have this problem: when I put the date for the future performance of Disk Defragmenter, it seems to take.  But when I close DD & reopen, the future date becomes 'never' - which isn't even a user option.

  Fix for that?  The impression that the computer has been 'hijacked '.

  Thank you!

  Use the removal tool Norton to remove fragments of Norton left behind:http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039.  See if it works after that you did.

  If this doesn't resolve the problem, try to set up the defragmentation as a scheduled task in the Task Manager.  Here's how to create the task:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/132903-task-scheduler-create-task.html.  That should solve the problem (even if the function in Disk Defragmenter does not work - the task is always done).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Why isn't Windows PE 2.0 available for free?

  I paid for my legal copy of Vista Home Premium when I bought my computer, why so PE 2.0 available only if I buy a retail copy of the CD?   Microsoft makes service packs available for free why isn't PE in one of these?

  I have a program to create images of backup of my hard drive.   Without a rescue boot disk, the image is useless.    I want to be able to retrieve my whole hard drive in the event of a disaster, not only my documents and files.   I don't want if sit and wait for SP2 to retrieve all published updates.  That could take days.  Macrium Reflect is a free software that allows you to do exactly that, the problem is, Vista is locked, I have to pay for the version that has the PE file that will allow me to create my rescue CD.   I can respect the fact that you don't want other software distributors using Microsoft property without paying, but I already paid for Vista.  What other programs Ichose to run with him should not be hindered by the latter.  Windows XP it didn't need, and these people are happy as clams.  Me. I'm not such a happy camper.  Vista was not one of the best products from Microsoft and I'm about to go back to XP, or jump up to Windows 7.   Vista was nothing more than a prolonged headache.

  There must be a way to get Windows PE for free?

  You paid for an OEM license of the manufacturer of the computer; not a Microsoft retail license...

  It is up to the manufacturer of the computer, what they have on their recovery disks.

  They only have to provide you with the means to reinstall Vista to factory settings; what they are doing.

  They provide an easy way for computer users to recover and as soon as POSSIBLE running.

  It is a good alternative:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista , and just serves as a Windows PE for recovery of your PC interface. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.
