When I try to defrag now XP w/sp2 says:some files on this volume could not be defragmented. Please check the report for the list of these files.

I could defrag a couple of days ago. I just uninstalled norton antivirus, and norton's ghost 2003 is still on my hd along with refresh force and the software for an USB hard drive. This drive is a 160G Seagate Cuda that did defrag flawlessly before today?

Please help me to correct this problem.

Thank you in advance. :)
 
Sometimes the Windows defrag program can't handle a file. You can fix it with O&O Defrag. They offer a thirty day free trial, so give it a shot. You'll like it.
 
Thank you for the helpful and speedy info. I will look into this software. I have a couple questions that I need to learn from. This is a brandnew 1 week old 160gig HDD. I have not even installed any games yet. Roughly 7 gigs is in use and the rest is free.

I defragged Sunday sevral times flawlessly, why is XP giong strange on me now :confused: :confused: :confused:

I have only disabled a few minor service for performance improvment, that is all that I have done.


I guess maybe you are saying that XP's defrag progam is weak by nature and my problem is a common one????
