Defraging C drive problem?

[Brian]

When I try to defrag the C drive, I get a display of coloured dots,
for free space, used space etc. Amongst the dots are black dots which
are for unmovable data on the drive. My problem is that there are many
black dots scattered over the C drive making defragging the drive a
problem as the drive does not get fully defraged.

What can I do to fix this problem?

Regards Brian

There are no dots in defrag. Give more details.

Brian do you see these black dots when the computer is off? If you
want a reasonable answer how about providing some information such as
your system, what you are using to defrag, and how you are defragging.
It appears that you are using some ancient program.

Thanks for your reply.

I use Vcom System Suite 5 (a recent program).
The dots I refer to are small coloured squares which are a view of
what condition that drive is in.
Red squares for Fragmented
Blue squares for Fully used
Yellow squares for non-optimized
White squares for Free space
Light blue squares for partly used.
Black squares for unmoveable files

Windows XP defragmenter uses coloured lines instead of small squares.

perhaps the unmovable is the page file.
Take a look at this program:

Read your help file which should explain what it is. Does your program have a boot mode defrag, if so run it.
