[40% after 20+ hours]

Hi Ozzie,

You are really trying to defrag very large files that are only 10 fragments a piece ?

For files that large you are asking a lot of work to be done for no benefit but if you insist then you should run the regular Vista Defragmenter first. You are possibly having some conflict with Vista System Restore programs and mirror files etc.

Try the latest version Defraggler v1.04 . It has many fixes made to it since v 1.03 .

Defraggler is still only being fully developed and problems will arise especially with Vista.

You might also just try doing a few files at a time. I would try the smaller files first.

 

When you give us an update, please give us some idea about these files and also some snapshots .

Good luck,

davey

 

Hi again, I deleted the older version of defraggler, and downloaded the latest version. Ran analyzer, and it showed a total of 91 defragmented files - not many, so I started to defrag each file individually to see if i could find the problem file/s. It became apparent very quickly that the problem files where C:\System Volume Information There were a toal of 5 of these files.

File one - 16 fragments - 15,743,344kb. File two - 16 fragments - 16,134,120kb. File 3 - 10 fragments -14,018,544kb. File 4 - 3 fragments - 2,873,336kb. File 5 - 2 fragments - 4,096,000kb.

 

When I checked the box to defrag the file I got the message Defrag complete. No files were defragmented.

 

I hope this helps

 

Best wishes - Ozzie

Hi Ozzie -

 

A lot of folks have had the same problem with this version.

The fine people at Piriform are aware of the problem and will be

releasing a new version any day now.

 

Many users (Including me) have gone back to Defraggler 1.02.085.

You can download it at the following link

Good luck and please let us know how this works for you.

Hi John, I downloaded the older version as suggested. Unfortunately the problem is still the same It seems to hang at the 40% point. It shot through to 32% then slowed and now has been at 40% for a number of hours. I did check I was running the 1.02.085 version and not the latest by mistake.

 

Best wishes - Ozzie

Hi, I downloaded Defraggler yesterday (Monday 27th), at approx 13.15. I installed it, and as it was the first time decided to defrag my 'C' drive.

 

Total drive capacity - 465.8 GB. Total Used Space - 124.1 GB. Free Space 341.7 GB.

 

98 fragmented files (69.5 GB) - 830 total fragments.

 

The defrag started at appox 18.00 hours on Monday 27th, and right now (14.01 28th Oct) 40% only completed.

 

I'm running Vista Home Premium SP1. Intel Core Duo E6550 @ 2.33 ghz. 2 GB RAM.

 

I guess it's not supposed to take this long

 

And I also guess its an operator problem, it usually is, , so what have I done/am doing wrong.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Many thanks - Ozzie
