XP defrag

[Paul Long]

It no longer works. My free disk space is 27%.

That means nothing on its own. 27% of what?

Click START|RUN and type...

cmd /k defrag c:

<enter>

and see what happens

I ran the line, before I had 12% Fragmentation w/23% File frag...

after running the command, 11% Frag 22% File frag

Try this from command prompt:

defrag c: -b

There are other switches as well such as:

defrag /? ---- this is the help menu!
defrag c: /a /v /f

In your case if hard disk space is the problem then try this:

defrag c: -a -f

When you do this please close all programs that are running. Also,
empty your recycle bin and delete any *.tmp files. You must be logged
in as administrator or user with those rights.

Your system will definitely see marked improvements.
