Defragmented files

[nino]

HI there,

When I'm running "defragmentation" on my drive C with Windows XP Professional, I got a pop-up with the following information:

Some files on this volume could not be defragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files.

(defragmentation report)
Volume (C
Volume size: 149 GB
Used space: 13.66 GB
Free space: 135 GB
Total files: 97, 757
Average file size: 196 kg
Total fragmented files: 1
Total excess fragments: 327
Average fragments per file: 1.00
Total master file table size: 154 MB
MFT record count: 106,098
Percent MFT in use: 67
Total MFT fragments: 3

Does anyone know how to fix it? I do appreciate for your help.

Rgds,
Nino

You need to run Check Disk

1. Open My Computer on the desktop
2. Right Click on Local Disk C:
3. Click on for Properties
4. Click on Tools from the Menu
5. Select Error-Checking
6. Select and check the two boxes
7. Click on Start

Error checking is a different process

But do it first.
What you got is normal.It can't defrag files that are being used.
eg: It can't Defrag Disk Defragmenter.
Some use safe mode,but i don't feel it's necessary for Defrag.

know when to quit! Only the MFT would be of any concern and you can't fix it
anyway!

Running Chkdsk is a necessary regular check.
It tests your hard drives condition or if it's failing.
It won't change what is defragged though.
Then Use Defrags Analyze first too.
