Medicated Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 OK thanks. But I still don't get why there is a lot of unused space in between the data. When I defrag my other disks this does not happen. If im not mistaken the disk is faster at the beginning and it would be better to compact the data at the beginning if there is a lot of unused space. Perhaps the files located after the pagefile is too huge to be put in front of it and thus the space in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicated Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah I have, If I click the one that says "allow fragmentation" it compacts but leaves alot of RED (fragments). If I choose the other It becomes like the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you defrag free space allowing defragmentation you should analyze drive and than go to View Files and check them all and than right click and defrag all checked files. It should fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
