Is there a way to by-pass a folder when defragging?
I have been doing some transferring of family movies to dvd from vhs tapes.
The files are huge up to 21 gigs. Is there a way to defrag the drive and
bypass the folder which they are in. I tried defragging, and it stalls on
these files, or at least seems to, and I have to power the computer off.

thanks

How large is the disk / partition and how much free space? Is the
folder on the drive containing your Windows operating system?

Hard drive is about 400 gig with 325 left, just 2 partitions, one small one
and the main one.
Yes the folder is in the same drive as the OS

What are the figures for each partition? Also in which partition are these
large files?

C: Capacity 368 free 306
D: 4.79 GB Free 1.64

Files are in the C: drive

D drive is what most vendors do instead of giving you an actually copy of
the cd, so a copy of the operating system and other programs I would say are
on the D drive.

Are you thinking of partioning the C: drive more? and placing the files
there?
