Can't access disk defrag or system restore?

[martin.m.l]

Hi,
Can anyone help I am trying to defrag my ‘C’ drive, before turning on the
disk protection in steady state.
When I go into control panel>performance& maintenance>rearrange items on
hard disk I get this message-
“Windows cannot find ‘C: Program Make sure you typed the name correctly,
then try again .To search for a file click the start button and then click
searchâ€.
I have done this and a lot of files come up but none match what I want.
Also if I try to use the system restores function it will come on but I can
no longer select any date on the calendar for it to revert to.
I have uninstalled steady state and the same thing still happen I have ran
the free pc scan from Microsoft and it has repaired a lot of registry problem
and still I can’t get the two Items working dose anyone know what the
problem could be?

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks’ for the reply I have completed the sfc/scannow and it asked for the
operating CD and then it completed the scan the restore appears to be
responding now but the rearrange items is still showing the same message when
I try to access it.
Can you help me any further it would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Martin.

Thanks Ramesh,
System restore is working now but defrag is a different matter when I try to
defrag any drive in Properties and move to Tools tab and click on defragment
Now this message comes up,
“Defragmenter is not installed on your computer†where do I go to get it
back on.
I am using XP pro with sp3 installed.
Regards,
Martin.

so can you tell me how I would proceed?
