Chief_runningwater Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 So yeah let me say I love your products and I use all of them but I'm having problems with defraggler. It doesn't seem to defrag about 3+ gigs of files on my computer and I was wondering why and is it possible to make it defrag them... Because I'm low on space right now and I really need it defraged becuase I ran it last night becuase I had 18GB of fragmented files and when I woke up this morning it had defraged all of it but 3GB and I tried to click defrag but it didn't defrag it it's always there how do I make it defrag it.

kmillerusaf Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Is the file(s) pagefile.sys or associated with C:\System_Volume_Information??? If that's the case, they can't be defragged while you are in Windows. swagger There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

Moderators DennisD Posted March 25, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2009 Besides Keiths suggestion, it's possible you may have answered your own question when you say you are short of space. I'm not the defrag expert on here, (I could name him but he'd get embarrassed), but I think you need about 15% of the drives space free to enable a proper defrag. If that's not the case in this instance, have a read of this thread ..... http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=21022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peck1234 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just learned the same thing today... Defraggler does not list what files "Cant" be defragmented... The program below will recognize what cant be defraged (immovable files)and calculate that into your fragmentation... http://download.cnet.com/Smart-Defrag/3000...4-10759533.html defraggler is still better tho! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
