Title: defrag problems
Post by: sprint on January 12, 2003, 08:12:35 PM

Response to capt. apathy




First run Scan Disk then defrag
                     
Probably because something in the background is running that is accessing the drive, causing the drive contents to change, and defrag to keep starting over. Realplayer and realjukebox are famous for this.

Try doing your defrags with nothing but explorer and systray running.... and kill all screensavers too.
