"Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files."

Hi Visser,

Try this Microsoft article for their take on this. It's quite lengthy, but
info on Defrag is about 1/3 of the way down. An interesting article on the
whole.

Don't worry about it. Some files won't defrag with the in built defragger.
It's not a problem.
