18826 2001-09-14 19:56:00 When trying to defragment my hard drive with the MS defagmentor at 10% it keeps coming up with the prompt 'Disk contents changed' and restarts. After 2 days running it was still the same. What am I doing wrong and how can I correct this? Guest (0)
18827 2001-09-14 20:35:00 you probably have another program running in the background, press cntrl-alt-del once, to see what else is running and shut down everything except systray and explorer. then try running your defrag. This is presuming you are running win98. Guest (0)
18828 2001-09-14 20:53:00 Try booting in Safe-Mode so that there is nothing running in background, and then run Defrag again. Also turn off any screensavers etc. Guest (0)
18829 2001-09-16 08:15:00 Don't forget to disable the clock and any anti-virus program too.....the clock one is the one that caught me out all the time though. Guest (0)
18830 2001-09-17 00:06:00 hi pam, the clock actual runs all the time(bios). you will find it quicker and easier to boot into safe mode or use powerdefrag (www.powerdefrag.com i think) to do it for you. nice and simple. Guest (0)
