Analyze and Defragment

[Scott]

I recently went to defrag my hard drive (Windows XP Home
addition) and the analyze part took several minutes to
even start working...it has always started right away till
now. The analyze and defragmenting did complete but what
is causing the big delay before it starts to work? Anybody
with an idea?...Thanks, Scott

Perhaps you needed to defrag?

Just kidding! after you defraged did you reboot and
analyze again? was it the same?

Yes I did and it still does the same thing. It starts as

you see a couple of lines in the analyze bar but then it
stops and delays for a couple minutes, and then it
continues and finishes. I have run the check disk and
everything is fine. All other programs seem to work just
fine...so I'm out of ideas. I guess since it does work
eventually, I should just live with it...thanks!
