Hi, It's mee again.

Searched around for sum answers....no luck. For the last few weeks after defrag completes I end up w/15 fragged files/197 excess fragments. 14 files are labeled "\System Volume Information\_restore" and 1 as "\hiberfil.sys".

I usually run CrapCleaner afore the defrag!

Am I in the correct forum? The right site?

The V7 Lite version of diskeeper isn't that great at doing a full defrag.

You can get Diskeeper Lite 9 from Intel this version still won't defrag all files but will do a far better job than V7.



However this is a 89mb download so if your using dial up I'm afraid this will take a very long time.

If you want to defrag the hiberfil.sys file you can either disable this setting:
Start
Control Panel
Performance & Maintenance
Power Options
Hibernate
Untick Enable Hibernation

Reboot the pc, then re-enable it if you use it. If you don't then I'd leave it disabled and you'll have freed up some space on your hdd but you won't be able to use hibernation.

Other than that I'm afraid your only option is to buy a defragger that will defrag locked files.
Raxco Perfect Disk
O&O Defrag
Diskeeper 10
Although there are other defrag software programmes out there.

Another free defrag program
http://www.auslogics.com/disk-defrag/

O&O V4 for free although this is very slow and not a patch on V8.5 but for free it will do the job.

Download from O&O Archive

Paragon Partition Manager this is still free from this site requires online registration to get serial to install the software. This has a defrag option that again will defrag the locked files.

Hey...thanks for the tips.

I'll do some of that stuff an let you know...that is if I am still able!

Boldly going...going... Small ed

Yo stidyup,

I tidied up a bit by disabling "Hibernate". Havn't gotten a diff. Defrag yet. Seems like I have a few other unrelated issues (I think)..."ITBarLayout" and "wmiprise.exe". I've been searching around for info on those.

Yoo Hoo!

Well stidy, thru yoo, I think I done good. Despite "O & O's" mighty efforts to prevent it I wuz able to dwnld an run their defrag. After running it I went back an ran "DK". It removed a few frags and showed none when finished. Is it safe to assume that I only need to run "O & O" when things get fuzzy? As you said, it is kinda slow.

Muchas gracias, eduardo

I would just run O&O everytime you find that diskeeper is having problems. There's no need to run it all the time as it's very slow. However V8.5 of O&O is a vast improvement and it's alongside diskeeper and perfect disk as being one of the best defraggers.

However I would advise updating to V9 of Diskpeer lite as it's far better than V7.
