Hi,

i've got the minimun 15% drive space to defrag, but part
way during the process the system restart, i login and i
am told my computer has recovered from a serious error.

any ideas folks?
 
Try going to run,type:cmd In cmd type:defrag /?
You can run defrag in,analyze-mode only,and/or if disk space is low,
force defrag to run.
 
Any error messages would be helpful.

Event ID & the Event Source are very important.

Double click the event in Event Viewer | Click: the button below the
second
arrow (looks like two pages) [[Copies the details of the event to the
Clipboard.]] | Paste into Notepad | Click:

To view Windows XP Events and Errors, type the Source (for example,
