defrag problem

Postby gilly_is_alive » Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:55 pm

Hey, i was following Nick N's defragging processes using O&O defrag pro.  one of the steps involves using the offline defrag..  I have recently realised that this stage is not working correctly for me and i was wondering if anyone could help.  When the offline defrag gets to about 45% it stops and goes straight to 100% (not sure if it said there was an error or not).

Then it stated that four files could not be defragmented, possibly due to not having enough free contiguous space  :-/

Im not sure what this means more room? its a 45 GB partition, there is 23.7 GB free! should be enough lol any ideas or any other defrag programs i could try?

I have completed multiple name and space defrags, here is what the CDrive currently looks like after analysis.  any assistance would be much appreciated.

I don't understand why that is happening, you mention it is partitioned so don't know if that has something to do with it or not, I never partition my drives.
i also notice in your screen shot that your running FAT32 that may be a issue.
Unfortunately the one that could surly set you straight is gone, so you may want to try and contact the makers of O&O and see if they have a idea.

Nick has been very helpful, he has been in contact with me once since his departure with some stuff to try but its going to take a while to get round to it.  So hopefully that will cure my problems!
