| 131921 | 2003-03-29 06:24:00 | I have a windows 98 SE operating system. Every time I try to defrag the process only reaches 10% and then the system freezes, and I have to cold boot it to get the PC running again. This happens both with the tyask scheduler and doing it manually. I'm going crazy!! My PC hasn't been defragmented for some time now and oh boy! it's really going slow! |

| 131922 | 2003-03-29 06:33:00 | Hi there, You may want to have a look in the FAQ (Top right corner of your window) and check out the Defrag FAQ in there :-) Try rebooting into Safe Mode, and killing any programs that may be open. The first 10% is the % used to ScanDisk the HDD, so if you tell it not to, it should jump from 2% to 10% pretty quickyl. From there on, its just an open program writing to your HDD that's stopping it. Try turning off the Screen Saver too :-) Hope this helps Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 131923 | 2003-03-29 12:58:00 | I can recommend PowerDefrag (http://www.powerdefrag.com/). Download the older version (2.10) which is freeware and more suited to Windows 98SE. All this little utility does is restart the PC with as few processes as possible running, then it starts the Windows defragging program. When defragging finishes it restarts the PC again back to normal. | Rod J (451) | ||
