Rogerino Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi, I just installed it yesterday and did defragmentation. After it has finished, I have noticed the red squares (fragments), so I ran the Analysis again. It still shows 5 red squares (fragments) but 0 fragmented files.

kroozer Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Click the red squares. What files are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Fragmented folders perhaps?? Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerino Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 If I try todefrag the highlighted, all the squares become blue even the empty space as well. Looks like those files/folders cannot be defragmented, or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's your $MFT that's fragmented unfortunately Defraggler cannot touch this file. I've heard that Sysinternals Contig tool can process $MFT however I've never tried myself yet. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Contig just sucks. I have never been able to defrag MFT with this tool, at least not fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Perfect Disk can defrag the meta data (including MFT) if you use its boot defrag. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I know. Perfectdisk is quite good but it's not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only, last time I mentioned a "competitor" product, I was reprimanded by Hazel. Surprised she didn't do that to you! Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised she didn't do that to you! Haha! Difference is you were mentioning it over and over again. Plus this conversation is about a function that Defraggler cannot do.

eL_PuSHeR Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I am pretty sure defragging the MFT cannot be done using Windows defrag internal APIs (used by most free defragmenters). That's way Windows defrag is also unable to process MFT and that's why it's hard to implement. Additional standalone code would be needed. I might be wrong though.

Super Fast Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Plus this conversation is about a function that Defraggler cannot do. I was pretty sure the last time was about a function Recuva could not do. Raw drive recovery. I will retest though... But, anyway, El Pusher is right, I would say. A lot of defraggers do use Windows API, so to implement MFT would require additional coding. This is possible, but would just require more effort & coding. I would keep checking the newer releases of Defraggler, because it is possible they may add that in later versions in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
