Windows XP SP3
1.7g Intel single core
Computer Management --> Disk Defragmentation
Has anyone ever had disk defragmentation hang on them? Any idea why?
About 3AM, I started a disk fragmentation of a 250G Seagate and went back
to bed.
I have done this process on that disk several times over the past 4 years
and it takes between 2 and 3 hours.
At 6AM I checked it and it was at 23% and moving a .tib file. I went back
to bed.
At 7AM+ it was still at 23% and FWIW, was still moving the same .tib
backup file of 75meg.
I paused it for about 30min., and then resumed it, paused it, and stopped
it.
I closed the defrag program and gave it 10 minutes or so to finish
completely and clean up and then I put the machine into restart. Windows
closed, but it hung and did not go into restart (That was unusual
behavior, but not original)
I crashed it. Disconnected power, drained BIOS by holding the start button
in 20 seconds and it restarted normally. (all of that may have been
unnecessary, but i wanted a clean, cold start.)
Any ideas?
