View Full Version : defrag errors

When I try to run defrag it keeps restarting saying "hard disk changed" or
something to that affect. This is the first time it has done that. I have
turned off all running programs before running defrag but I still get the
error. Any ideas?

Either try running Defrag in Safe Mode and/or download and run ScanDefrag v
4.2a.

This is a FREE utility, written by several well respected contributors to
these News Groups and has been designed to run several original MS utilities
through a 'filter' which eliminates the usual junk which stops Defrag (and
Scandisk) from running properly in Normal Mode - as you are already
experiencing <g>

You can get ScanDefrag at either of the two sites below - and be sure to
read the associated notes for setting it up:

HTH and good luck

What works great? - Safe Mode and/or Scandefrag?

Glad you've now got it working, but it would be nice to know (as feedback
for others) which option works 'GREAT' <g>
