Hard Disk Defrag

[P_driver]

Does anyone else experience this problem. I'm using Norton speed disk and after running the defrag for a while somewhere between 20-50% completed, the whole thinsg just stops. Even after leaving it for 1 hour it is still stuck at the same level. The whole com can still run but only the defrag will stop. Tried restarting it many times but will still stop after some time. Any ideas guys

check if you hv the antivurus software running, if yes, try to stop the antivirus during defreg but advise to disconnect from network if u decided to shut down the antivirus.

I've tried running it with and without the antivirus program. Basically tried running it with everything none essential off

you know,

if your system is low on memory,

even moving the mouse uses the virtual memory, thus causing the contents in the hard disk to shift,

and thats a possible cause.

otherwise ,

there's also possibilities of bad sectors,

thus run norton disk doctor before doing a defrag.

go maxtor.com find powermax and make it bootable in diskette then run test and advance test ur hard disk.. if no prob mean nothing big serious and if got warning or fail... prepare to have bad sector la..

hm....i used to have this prob what i did was to enter safe mode and run the defragment.... and it works..... but i guess the best solution is to reformat ya hard disk if the problem persist..ahah just my 2 cents...

Well i think its a problem with norton, i've managed to defrag my HD using windows and there was no problem. Thanks for all the advise
