hello.


i installed Diskeeper disk defrag utility under XP pro.

i have a chain of 4 9-gig SCSI's running under an Adaptek UW2940 controller.

the SCSI's are generally pretty stable, no problems.

Often, when I try to de-frag a SCSI with DK, the SCSI drive just starts
"clicking" like a machine gun, constantly (like the noise that happens when
SCSI's are writing a large file)

this just stays on and on and eventually the computer locks up.

is this a problem that XP can be configured to deal with, or is it an
independant SCSI issue?

thanks for any help...

From what i remember on scsi drives they dont get fragmented,however t
run a defrag utility,go to run,type:cmd in cmd type:Defrag E
E: can be any drive or volume.
 
andrew,

why would typing it in from the cmd prompt do anything different? if DK is
the default defrag app, it will still engage the same thing, no?
 
The FATx and NTFS file systems fragment - regardless of underlying disk
technology (fragmentation of the file system is independent of hardware).
