My disk defragmenter is not working properly. I can get in
to the defrag program and see the drives available to
defrag. I can select the drives and begin the defrag.
However, after the drive gets to about 13% done the
program says that it is done. I can start the defrag back
up and the same thing happens.

I have a 9GB hard drive that is set up on NTFS. I am
running windows xp home with all of the updates.

Does anyone know what to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Robert,

- Which files remain fragmented?
- How much free space do you have on this drive? With the built-in
defragmenter, you really need about 15%.
- Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and defragmenting from there? What
happens?

Greg,

Thank you for responding.

Well as you can see by the percentages, most of the files
stay fragmented. The red fragmented files don't move and
the blue files do not get reorganized to be more compact.
On other computers this defragmenter seems to do a desent
job.

Is there maybe a setting that I am missing?

Robert
