Defraggler taking hours to complete

[Nolly]

I started Defraggler 7 hours ago and it's at 52%. Just wondering if it is normal for it to take this long. This is the first time I've used the program and I'm not sure what to expect.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Nolly, and welcome to Piriform.

 

Some more information needed first.

 

Which operating system are you using, how big is your hard drive, and how much free space do you have on your it?

 

Post back with some info and we'll take it from there.

Hi DennisD,

Thanks for replying.

I'm using Vista. The hard drive is 300GB with 186GB free (though it was 198GB before starting) The analysis says it had 43% fragmentation and is at 42% now.

It's still at 52% defragmenting as I type this.

So it finally finished. Now it's 41% fragmentation. No idea what that means and why it still is fragmented.

No idea what that means and why it still is fragmented.

Hit the "File list" tab and find out.
