scheduleddefrag ends with 0x1f "last run result"; Vista Home Premi

[Vista novice]

I run Vista Home Premium.

I ran a manual defrag on 3/19/08 and i then changed the scheduled defrag to
run every two (2) weeks, starting on 3/22/08.

The defrag ran on thw 3/22/08 and fininshed in 1 second. I got all of the
"normal" messages in the "history" tab, but I got "0x1f" in the "last run
result" column. Of course is usually says successfully completed (0x0).

I cannot find what "0x1f means. Any ideas???

Did it not run because it determined that the defrag was unnecessary because
a manual was run just 3-days earlier??

Thank you!

Mark,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did as you said and let it run. It ran for a
while, I have 500GB drive, so I did not watch it. The next thing I knew it
finished and my desktop whas up. NO messages, NO anything. Is there a way
to determine if any errors were found or fixes??

Thank again!

The Event Viewer in admin tools will report problems. Defrag should work
now.

Thanks for the quick reply Mark!

I must apologize I am a Vista newbe. I was using Windows98 before I got my
current system 3 months ago! I have been looking at the Event Viewer, but
have NO CLUE where to fing the results of the chkdisk.

Can you point me in the right direction, PLEASE???
