Disk Defragmenter by
[email protected]
I can only use the disk defragmenter tool in safe mode
instead of the regular Win98 mode. Does it make a
difference whether to use this tool in safe mode or do I
have to reinstall Windows in order for this to work?

Hi,
I have 98SE with a 4GB disk (C:).
I have run defrag several times, and it gets
to about 26% after about 3 hours, and then
seems to get stuck. I have run it in safe mode,
and windows mode (with all apps, including AV
and firewall shut down) with same result.
What is going on here?
thanks

DISK DEFRAGMENTER by
Bob
Just curious. Does the disk defragmenter in Win 98
overwrite the empty space on the disk when it defragments?
I know the defragmentation process reorganizes disk data
so everything gets put back in its place for more
efficient access, but what about overwriting empty space?
Thanks. Bob
