After running Defrag again, it shows that some files did not defragment. When 'View Report' is clicked, it shows a list of files that did not fragment and the filename but the last part of the subdirectory is cut-off. Scrolling over the filename or clicking on it does not display the remaining subfolder. I 'know' the subdirectory is 'ApplicationData' but how do I find out the remaining 'subfolder' so I can see what file is not defragmenting?
Some of the files and folders are hidden on the operating system. You need check the show hidden files and folders in the Folder options. The defrag reports lists files that cannot be defragmented - is that what you are talking about and what are the names of the files?
If you are running low on disk space the Windows defragmenter may have difficulty defragmenting your hard disk. The XP defragmenter cannot defrag files that are in use like the registry files, event logs, pagefile. These files must be defragmented before XP loads up all the way and starts to use those files. On a healthy system it is certainly possible to have zero fragmented files according to the XP report by using PageDefrag.
It does not always mean you will suddenly see more free space on your HDD though, so don't let your expectations exceed reality when you get to zero defragmented files and still have no more free space. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I know that the Defrag Report lists files that cannot be defragmented. When 'View Report' is clicked 'in' Disk Defrag, it shows a list of files that did not fragment and the filename but the last part of the subdirectory is cut-off.
Scrolling over the filename or clicking on it in the list does not display the remaining subfolder. I have 81 percent free space so that is not the issue No informative message was displayed stating not enough room.
I just want to know how to find out what the remaining sub-folder is. The issue seems to be one of my program files listed under 'ApplicationData. However, I've come up short on this one. Any help would be appreciated. Whenever I defragment my hard drive, at the end it always says, "Some files on this volume could not be defragmented. I'm new to XP pro, and I'm not sure if the entire drive should end up defragmented, or do some files always remain fragmented?
One other question, if I may? Every few minutes it sounds like my computer is taking a snapshot like with a camera. What is the cause of this? Thanks very much for the help. God Bless, David.
Joined May 15, Messages In reply to your first question: You cannot defragment files that are in use. In reply to your second question: Re-installing your sound drivers may solve that. Bryan Bryan. Joined Jul 3, Messages 11, There's a good chance you will still have a file or two that can't be defragged but try running defrag from SafeMode. To boot into SafeMode do this Restart Windows and keep pressing F8 during the bootup.
You want to start tapping F8 after the drives are recognized on the screen but before the Windows splash screen appears. A startup menu will appear.
Once Windows starts in SafeMode run your defrag. When it's done, restart the PC and let it boot into Windows normally. Let us know what happens. MysticEyes Banned.

If you're running anything like a dual core processor or better, I don't think you really even need to defragment. If your computer is running Windows XP, which I think it is, defragging maybe once a month would be good for it, but you should also look into uninstalling unused programs, clearing out all the temp files, and removing unnecessary entries from your startup configuration. Oron Joffe Boyd, as Tina says, files that are in use cannot be defragged.
In this mode, Windows starts up the least programs it can, so you'll be able to defragment more files. It's a good idea to do this from time to time, but bear in mind that Windows is much slower in this mode so the process will take a lot longer. Tina Boyd,. The files probably cannot be defragmented because they are currently in use.
If you are still worried, please copy and paste the defagmentation report, so that we can have a look which sectors and files are affected. Otherwise it's difficult to suggest a solution. Ubuntu is no-doubt one of the best Linux distros out there, then why is the Ubuntu desktop losing its shine?
