Hey. Whenever I run defrag on my dormie's pc, it
says it's still 42% fragmented. Yes, i know he has ran the
program in a while. Anyway, whenever I run it the analysis
says it's 42% fragged and it run defrag, but after it
takes 1/2 to 1 hr. it finishees and tells me the same
thing it did in the analysis. Is it even working or not?
They certainly didn't cover this on the A+ tests, so
please help. I hope that the drive doesn't bad
unrecoverable sectors that require the purchase of a new
drive.

thanx

Danny,

- What files remain fragmented?
- What is total size of drive and how much free space is available?
- What happens if you boot into Safe Mode and defragmenter from there? Does
it get any better?
