Defragmenter

technoboy SG

Hi all, I just tried defragmenting my computer. Even though after doing it, whenever I analyse it again, it still tells me that I should defrag it again. Why is that so? Does that mean I have to keep doing it until it advices me that I don't have to defrag it?

Cos' it just took a really short while to complete the defragment.

And what does it do actually? Speed up my computer?

Err... defrag will take a few hours.

Click on Defrag rather than on Analyze. Analyze just need a few minutes.

Sometimes got bad sectors, you can defrag it 999 times, and it'll still ask you to defrag. Laughing

technoboy SG

Yea... I know that but the first time I defrag it's already less then an hour. Any idea why?

ditzy SG

You should turn off screensavers, shut down your torrent d/ls, and not do anything with your comp while you defrag, otherwise you pretty much screwed yourself. Laughing

technoboy SG

Yea of course Laughing

I restarted before the defrag man...

ditzy SG

You must pretty much try to shut down every running process before defrag except the critical ones. Just think of it like safe mode. Laughing

Xcert SG

then can defrag run in safe mode by choosing safe mode at F8?

M©+square SG

yes, just defrag using safe mode.

technoboy SG

Thanks all, will try defrag-ing it in safe mood. Wink

the last time i defrag, den i analyse again it like not good
so i immediately defrag the 2nd time

M©+square SG

hmm? Are you using any other application which is HDD usage intensive?

I defrag 3 times also no crash. After that, it was kept on for 1week then i restart. No prob.
