Defraging?
- Thread starter Ravioli
- Start date
Even though all the text will be in Italian, the placement of menu options should be hopefully be consistent across languages. The is more than one version of XP, so I don't know if these instructions will be identical, but its worth a try: (I am using XP 64bit edition, which may differ from the standard)
Open My Computer.
Right click on the drive to defragment and select the bottom item (Properties).
A dialog box should appear with tabs across the top. The 3rd tab should be the tools tab. Click it.
The should now be 3 buttons. The top is error-check, the middle is the defragmentor and the bottom is backup. Press the middle button, it should have an icon near it that looks like a load of coloured rectangles with some flying off.
You should now have a window with the drives listed at the top and 5 buttons across the bottom. From left to right these are Analyze, Defragment, Pause, Stop, and View Report. Hitting the second button should start the process. Sit back, relax and wait for it to finish.
If you get stuck then use Google's language tools to translate from Italian to English.
You could also consider installing a third party defragmentor in English. If you can find it the was a free lite version of Diskeeper available on the net. Personally I now use Ashampoo Magical Defrag, which is available in demo form.

Or download this

Unpack the map to the program folder or something. No need to install. Run the udefrag.exe. Always choose YES to the questions it asks, and change the 'maximum resource usage' on the left to 100%. Then run Auto or Fragmented Files Only.

I didn't want to make a new thread, so I decided to hijack this one instead.
I use Diskeeper, and I defragment my hard drive frequently. However, every time I shut down and restart my computer, it gets fragmented a lot. Large and scattered portions of my drive are shown as red, and though it defragments fast in those situations, I can't help but think there's a problem.
Other situations, like now... after I installed a game, my drive is HUGELY fragmented. I have about 60% free space, and installed one game. Defragged and the fragmentation is horrible. I had defragmented and all was blue just prior to installing the game, and I don't understand why so much stuff got fragmented so badly. Never had such a fragmented drive this before after defragging completely and installing one game.
My MFT file is large enough, and page file is defragmented and everything, so I dunno what's up.

Yeah. Page file saved on the drive. Sometimes they are small slices of red, sometimes large blocks.
When I installed the game, Crysis, many of the objects being moved around had absolutely no relation to crysis. Some did, like system files in various places, but some had just no relation. It was weird.
Oh well, I won't worry about it. It'd just be nice to start my defrag before going to bed, have it finish, go to bed, wake up and defrag and seeing it all still 'mostly' defragged... but it shows a lot of red when I reboot the computer.
