  1. I used Auslogics Disk Defrag the other day and it slowed my machine down. This defragger takes a while but does a very good job and after you run it next time it doesn't take as long. My machine was still slow after I ran the defragger but not as slow as when it ran the other defragger and I ran the free space defragger and it's even faster now!

     

    I really like this software. I am impressed!

  2. I have the same issue. I have not used any paid defrag software. I have 20% left on my drive no matter what I do. The other defrag software finishes it with 0%. It makes the software look bad when it can't defrag the whole drive or tell you the reason for this. Shouldn't it have boot time defrag if can not defrag the system files?

  3. I'm trying to repair my brother's computer. He received a bad email and clicked on the link, (big no no I told him never to do it ) well it took over his system, and crash. :angry: He's only had the computer a little over a year.

     

    What I get after boot up is Disk Boot Failure insert system disk and press enter.

     

    All well and good - he never made back up discs. <_< (told him to but he didn't listen)

    I've tried the F11 without luck. Did the F2 & F10 all comes back to the screen disk boot failure.

     

    this is a HP M8200N running vista home premium AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual cor processor 6000+

     

    How to repair did a lot of research - seems that HP will send the discs, What I've read for this system is they don't work properly. I'm trying to avoid that.

    do I purchase Vista and reinstall it?

    if so how can I tell prior that this crash didn't blow the HD, or anything else for that matter?

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated as I don't know vista, I'm still running xp without problems.

    HP will send the discs for $20 I think but do you have any other hard drives on the computer? External etc? Try removing them.

     

    If you have the HP disc, you can click Repair to fix it too.

     

    If you run the bios, you could set the bios to defaults. Can you run the bios at all?
