How do I get a complete defrag? It tells me, after
defraging several times, that some files cannot be
defraged. That leaves a lot of red on my report. My OP is
Windows XP with 26% of my hard drive space remaining.I
looked at Diskeeper but it did not indicate it was to be
used on home edition version of Windows XP. Help will be
appreciated.

defragmentation needs 15% free space to run and it is
good idea to get in habit of 'routine of running'
first - chkdsk.exe/checkdisk/
then defrag
note
ms - 'defragmentation tool' - is diskeeper/chk it/
then delete temp files and cookies
and should keep your disk clean and org'd
and take it fr there

I had the same thing today fragemented space was 21%. First
defrag got me to 10%. I emptied my recycle bin which took
up a lot of space, and more files defragged down to 7 or 8 %.
I purged a 255 MB backup file (easily recreatable). It
then defraged down to 0%. I started with 20% of hard drive
space avail, and after the recycle bin and the backup I had
37% space avail.

Hope this helps

Hi Ray -

Diskeeper does run on Windows XP Home Edition. In fact, there is a
Home Edition of Diskeeper (for Win95 through WinXP), that's available
from the Executive Software website at www.diskeeper.com.

I hope this helps -
