Hello,

I have attempted to defrag my WinXP serveral times and I keep getting the
message that the drive needs to be defraging again. I have ran the analyz
several times, and it says that some files can't be defrag. I have also ran
chkdsk everything appears to be ok. However do you advise.

Thanks,

Paul

What percentage of free space does the drive have?

some big files will never get fully defragged - just leave it - as defrag
doesn't matter much anyway these days
 
Make sure you have atleast 15% free space. The XP defragger doesnt
defrag the MFT and paging file i suppose. If its just a matter of
frequent fragmentation, you wud be better of scheduling an automatic
tool to defrag every night/week or so.
