| 556785 | 2007-06-07 00:23:00 | Hi Folks. Idle moment here... every time I do a disk defrag the programme finds $mft which is locked and cannot be defragged. Google tells me what mft is, but why is it locked, what locks it and why should it not be defragged?:confused: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 556786 | 2007-06-07 02:57:00 | Do it in safe mode. | pctek (84) | ||
| 556787 | 2007-06-07 03:46:00 | You need a 3rd party defragger that can do it at boot time before windows locks access. You will be playing with the index to all of your files :D | PaulD (232) | ||
| 556788 | 2007-06-07 06:11:00 | Hi pctek & PaulD. Thanks for advice. I do have and use Auslogics defragger, but after reading up on Google I might just step back. It doesn't seem to be eating too much of my hard drive. :rolleyes: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 556789 | 2007-06-07 16:43:00 | Try 'Vopt 8' ...Dosen't work for me ... But, it's supposed to be good !...Gives a 30 day trial too! Then there's 'PrefectDisk' & 'Diskeeper' Both with free trial periods. :2cents: Regards. |
