Well This time I realy let myself go..I have 4.18 avg fragmetns per file now and the bad part it defrag wownt work, its goonna compatc 1 file and move it but It wownt change anything, not even .01 of fragmentation. I have a hunch its cause I have only 17% free disk space. If thats soo, how much free space do I need to get a clean defrag and if not than any ideas on how do defrag it ?

Thank you in advance :whistling:

Run disc clean up, click more options, click clean up restore points, click OK

Reboot to safe mode then run disc defragmenter
