can't defragment all files on dirve

[Guest]

I usually run scan disk & disk defragmenter every weekend & all has been for
while except for a few weeks ago. My printer doesn't work anymore (won't
even print a test page), so I was reading about how a fragmented drive
affects the printing performance if it's running slow. So after running disk
defragmenter for a few minutes the program stops & says that some of the
files can't be defragmented on the drive.

A friend of mine sent me disk keeper 9.0 to use and it fixed everything
but 3 files that I can't defragment or whatever you wanna call it. I still
can't even print a test page (the printer use to turn on by itself when you
went to print something). Now I have to physically press the "ON" button &
the printer starts to feed a piece of paper in (maybe about a inch), but
quickly stops & the paper feeder lets go of the piece & the paper is returned
back to the original starting position inn the paper tray.
After running the defrag report it says the following:

Volume Hdisk1 (C
Volume size = 37.27 GB
Cluster size = 512 bytes
Used space = 14.22 GB
Free space = 23.05 GB

File fragmentation = 18 %

Total MFT fragments = 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fragments File Size Files that cannot be defragmented
3 1.68 GB \Documents and
Settings\administrator\Application Data\ACD Systems\ImageDB\ImageDB.ddf

I have no idea what all this really means, but I was using ACDSee power pac
7.0 as a image viewer, but after not being able to print anything & getting
the above message in the report, I completely uninstalled ACDsee & deleted
the program from the registry (I think).

If anyone has any solutions to my not being able to print anything (it’s a
HP DeskJet 820cxi) or defragging the rest of the files the above report says,
would be GREATLY appreciate!
Thanks.

Try reinstalling the printer driver. But first see if there is a new driver
available.

1. Get the latest driver.
2. Remove the existing driver.
3. Install the new driver.

I have already done that & still have the same printer results..... after
installing the driver again, I pluged the printer cable back in after that &
the computer found the new hardware ( my printer), but still have the same
problem of the printer not responding...... That still doesn't slove the
problem of not being able to completely defragging the C Drive....I'm at a
losson what I have to do!

The defragging issue is really not that big a deal. The small amount
you have probably is not noticably affecting proformance. Have you done
a boot time defragmentation via diskeeper? That may defrag those files.

For the printer have you tried the printer on a different computer to
see if it can be installed there? Maybe the printer died.
