| 177834 | 2003-09-25 07:14:00 | Hi. So today, I decided that I should run a Defrag/Error Check/Surface Scan on my 3 partitions (1x5gig NTFS, 1x15gig FAT32, 1x20gig FAT32). It putted away for a couple hours and I went out. When I came back, it had worked perfectly, except that my NTFS partition wasn't defragged properly. I ran it again and recieved a bunch of files that it couldn't move. I tracked them down to System Restore files and disabled the feature before running it again. It got a bit further then stopped saying the following file couldn't be moved.. \Documents and Settings\Matt Hancock\Local Settings\Temp\gw4CB.tmp It's 1.2gig in size and it preventing me from getting total organised chaos. Any help would be appreciated. :) |

| 177835 | 2003-09-25 09:43:00 | Did u defrag in safe mode? Thats the easiest way of defragging. And no programs are running in the background. Some files, it cant move, when ot defrags. ANd an easier way to delete temp files, is to get a program like Privacy Eraser. This gets rid of temp files, cache, and can get rid of quite a bit of crap off ya hdd | Spacemannz (808) | ||
| 177836 | 2003-09-25 22:48:00 | I used a program called PowerDefrag which reboots the computer so it can run at it's most optimal without any background processes. I will try your suggestion and run it in Safe Mode and will try Privacy Eraser (since I'm constantly erasing temp files, cache and whatnot) |
