I am troubleshooting a laptop for my friend. One of my eliminations is Defragging. Before I run the Defrag, I always Analyse.
However, when I first start Defraggler, it says DISK HEALTH: ERRORS (see screenshot)
When I run the Disk Benchmark, after analysis, it says there are no major errors on the disk. The Seagate disk test runs fine!
I have taken a screenshot of the Health tab as well.
Have you run a check disk yet?
Yes I have, it says it found and repaired some errors, but I am still getting a Disk Health warning from Defraggler!
I have the same problem. There are no instructions about what is the cause or what is the solutio.dn to the ERROR. Any help is appreciated.

- Run Piriform's SPECCY program. Choose "File" >> "Publish Snapshot" and post the link that pops up in your next reply. Perhaps your HD is in the first stage of failing.
I also am getting the "Disk Health: ERROR" warning in Defraggler. If I "Analyze" and then "Optimize", the Defraggler seems to work but it doesn't seem to do anything (my fragmentation remains at 25%).
I ran check disk which also seemed not to do anything, and then ran Defraggler again, but
Here is my "snapshot" from Speccy: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/X7DnfLhvhEOSe6UuE8SaQQv (note my "Status" under "S.M.A.R.T." is ominously listed as "Bad".)
I appreciate any insight here.
Thanks.

@kevin: Some "critical" attributes (&B8, &BB) have high values. And the "Wear Out Indicator" is also very high.
