Defrag takes a long time and 100% CPU.

Hi,

I have the latest version of Defraggler, Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit, Pentium D 3G CPU, 2G RAM DDR2, and a 160GB SATA2 WD HDD.

 

I'm trying to defrag the D partition, which is 100GB, with 15GB free space. It's taking forever, there's HDD activity, but very slow, and the CPU is at 100% (50% 1 core).

 

I looked at the help page, and searched the forums, i found a user reporting this issue recently, but no reply.

 

Thank you for your support.

Pentium D sucks, change ur CPU and MOBO, get Core2duo.

 

I know you are trying to be helpful but his CPU might not be the reason why it's taking so long to defag. This could be a bug. How long is "forever"??? I would recommend gaining some free space though. 15GB of free space is pretty low on any hard drive.

There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

I use Defraggler to defrag individual files only on my Vista Home Premium system and it works well at that.

 

I find that Vista does a good job of defragging but I have made sure that the system is powered on when the schedule needs to be run.

That is quite true and quite possibly the cause of the slowdown.

Be respectful dude, don't you think i know that this CPU is old, but it's not the cause!

Thank you for replying, seems it was just a few files that did that, it took like 5 hours in a couple of files. After it was done with them it went into fifth gear.

 

Problem solved!
