Disk Defragmenter Report - Problem

[Guest]

Hi, Disk Defragmenter states that is was not able to defragment all files.
Showing the Report lists 1 file with 5 fragments. Problem is the file named
does not exist!

My windows explorer settings will show all (even hidden) files, so it's not
that. Literally, the file is not there, yet no matter how many times I run
the defrag, the report is always the same.

Any suggestions and what might be causing this?

Thanks

Possibly the registry shows a file that does not exist. Anyway, have you
run CHKDSK /F on the drive? If not, that's what I would recommend. Then
try again.

Did you copy paste the path into Start | Run?

CHKDSK was the fix. Thanks!
