On my laptop I just ran my Disk Defragmenter like I do every now and then, but this time it said:

"Defragmentation is complete for: HDD (C:

Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files."

Anyone got any idea why it would do this? It only ever reachers the 40% "Compacting Files" stage now.

Also, when I open the report there is an empty list, so I don't even know what isn't getting defragmented.

Thanks.

It can hang on compacting, how long did it stay there?

It stays there ages now, and I'm running it just now and it doesn't seem to even go by that stage now.

Your main interest is up to and including reg defrag, though run through it all

Prefetch is clickable for more information

Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, (all files will highlight), right click any file, click delete, confirm

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up

Reboot

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run defragmenter

Download, install and run Tune Up 2006 Trial

Run Tune Up disc clean up

Run Tune Up registry clean up

Disable the anti virus programme then click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, the screen will lose colour during the process which can take a few minutes and then needs a reboot

Check the anti virus programme is running

Those will have cleared the drive of obsolete software errors

These are suggestions for making the most of the free trial

Click optimize and improve then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor
