Defrag Batch File

[Devon]

When I try to use a batch file to defrag my disks, it
opens a command prompt and just starts scrolling "defrag
c:" then "defrag e:".
My batch file looks this:

----start file----
defrag c:
defrag e:
---- end file ----

It used to defrag properly when I did it like this but
now it doesn't. Am I doing something wrong?

I want to be able to run the batch like this so that I
can have it automatically defrag as the windows utility
doesn't let you set it to defrag more than one disk at a
time and I don't want to have to be there to tell it to
start defragmenting the next drive when it's done the
first.

Thanks

Works fine for me. Try running "Defrag C:" command manuall and see if you
receive any errors. Try under administrator login.

3rd party software does this automatically! Again programs
supplied with XP often lack full operations. I have three
hard drives and Diskeeper goes through them all while I am
doing something else. A click button operation.
