Hi, I don't have system restore on. It all is a new build. I backup all of my drives on a daily or weekly basis depending on the content.
Now been 4 days. Suddenly last night after staying on 1 minute to go the time jumped to 11hours 15 minutes. At the moment it has dropped to10 hours 15 minutes There are only14 fragmented files left and 1% fragmentation, so since this pc is not being used for anything in particular at the moment I will let it run. The files on this hard drive are all image files of between 450 and 700 MB so maybe that is why it is taking so much time. Fortunately it is still progressing and the number of fragmented files is decreasing
