-pops- Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 It would help us if you gave details of your system.One thing that comes to mind straightaway is: Do you have administrator rights to do this process? As I recall, you cannot defragment on restricted accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSi Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Using Windows XP SP2 And on my account it says that i'm the administrator but i still cant defragment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 OK. Assuming you are trying to use the Windows XP utility, have you tried an independent defragmenter such as http://www.defraggler.com/ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Can you do it from a Command Prompt? I doubt you will be able to if you're using the Windows software but it's possible. CMD > defrag c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remedi Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 If you are admin and still unable to defrag, see if its a lack of free space (you need atleast 15% for the windows tool, but programs like Diskeeper can defrag with lesser free space efficiently) or if some program is interrupting its task.If you cant solve the issue, get Diskeeper and install it to run automatically. You dont need to defrag manually after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 In choosing a decent defragger, there is actually a post on this forum covering this particular topic.http://forums.windowsforum.org/index.php?s...+best+defragger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
