Problem with the Defragmentation

[Guest]

Hi, anyone can helps me about this problem i facing when i to a
Defragmentation for my hard disk. Please helps...thanks.. the message as
below:


Defragmentation is complete for: (C

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

The Report:

File fragmentation = 0 %
Free space fragmentation = 0 %

File fragmentation

Average file size = 263 KB
Total fragmented files = 1
Total excess fragments = 112
Average fragments per file = 1.00

Hi...
Try some tips from the following:

"Some Files Could Not Be Defragmented..."
Fred, I am a plus subscriber and love your articles. I have a question
for you. I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop. Whenever I run the
defragmenter at the end it says "some files on this volume could not be
defragmented. Please check the defragmentation report for the list of
the files". I check the report but it is always blank. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks, Bob

Could be any of several things. Defrag needs some free space to
maneuver, for example; typically, it needs about 15% of the total drive
capacity to be open, so files can be shuffled around during the
defragmentation. If your drive is very full, you may not be able to
defrag it. If this is the case, try deleting some files, moving files to
another partition or drive or to backup, etc; and run a thorough
cleanup: http://langa.com/cleanup_bat.htm

Errors on the drive may also cause this. Try running Scandisk or Chkdsk,
and fix any problems that turn up.

In-use files may not be able to be defragged, either, because they're
locked and in use. You can minimize the number of such files by running
Defrag only in Safe Mode, or from the Recovery Console. If you're really
desperate to achieve near-100% defragmentation, you can run defrag
several times in a row; each pass may squeeze out a few more percent.

But in NT/2K/XP, some files just won't get worked on much at all because
they're always in use or protected in some way. You'll probably never
achieve 100% defragmentation. But that's OK; a low single-digit
percentage of fragmented files doesn't matter much, performance-wise;
you could beat your brains out trying to get everything perfect, and not
see any meaningful performance improvement when you're done.

So, if you defrag and end up with a few percent of files left
fragmented, don't worry about it. Just defrag regularly--- every week or
so is usually fine--- and you'll be OK.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so
just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup
doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for
those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they
see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only
once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's
time, and gets you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across
multiple newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
