Defragmentation Problems
Hey,
I recently bought a new hard drive and have noticed that it refuses to defrag. Its 500gb partitioned as follows:
C:
80gb total
20.3gb used
59.7gb free (75%)
31% fragmentation
D:
385.9gb total
42.8gb used
342.9gb free (89%)
74% fragmentation
When running a defrag with Defraggler and the Windows defragmenter, they both fail to reduce the number of fragments. Following some advice, I have run a chkdsk on both partitions and run the "sfc /scannow" command, they have fixed some errors but haven't fixed the defrag problem.
I have tried to defrag single files in Defraggler but I end up with the message "Defragmetation Complete. No files were defragmented." and running the program in debug mode let me know that it is unable to move the files.
I have run a number of disk checks which have all said that the drive is working fine.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks
