Defrag will not defragment a large number of files.
I've been having some slow performance for a few days, so decided to
defrag. After analysis, the drive is 23% defragmented. It's never been
that high. I ran defrag. It reported that a number of files could not
be defragmented. Fragmentation stayed high (19%)
I saved the report so I could look at the files..
With one exception, all the files listed are MPG files, which I
created, ripped from DVDs and converted to MPG. They represent 29 gig
on an 80 gig drive!
They are listed as having several hundred to several thousand
fragments.
The one exception is a .db file in Documents and Settings, for ACDC.
That db file is LARGER than the images it supposedly represents, and
has more parts than there are images, again several thousand parts.
I thought perhaps changing the properties by turning off "read only"
would take care ot it. Ran defrag again. Did not work. Still at 19%.
All of the same files are listed.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
