566779 2007-07-07 06:35:00 I decided to delete some rubbish from my comp. and then did a "disk defrag.".When I click analise it says analising Programs C. How do I get it to analise ,defrag Programs E, where most of my content lies? gradebdan (2186)
566780 2007-07-07 06:44:00 I assume this is the one built into XP???

Simple! click on the drive in the drive window and select defrag!

566781 2007-07-07 06:55:00 Yes it is XP. Excuse my ignorance but where do I find the 'Drive Window'? gradebdan (2186)
566782 2007-07-07 07:01:00 Click on "MY COMPUTER, and they will show up as drives, usually starting at "C" and maybe if you have other hdds, you'll see "D", "E" . . . etc .

Don't bother trying to defrag the optical drives, they won't allow it anyway .

It's best to run defrag in Safe Mode to get the stuff that's not running then all cleaned up too .

If you don't use Safe Mode, then you'll get things that cannot be defragged shown in the analysis screen .

Hopefully you are using "CLASSIC" view to run defrag . . . . you will actually have better ability to work it out that way .

566783 2007-07-07 07:28:00 Thankyou Surferjoe. I had to go into "Partition Magic" from the drop down menu to find DD but all good now. Cheers gradebdan (2186)
566784 2007-07-07 07:46:00 Are you not using the Disk Defragger that is in XP? (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter)
