Vista Home Prem., HP Dv 9008nr, 1.6 Ghz Dual Core, 1500 Ram, 100GB Hard Drive When I run the Defrag it runs but never finalizes. I tried to run from safe mode and it wont even start. Any ideas? Thanks       |

| Try running the defrag from cmd prompt. Atleast that way you can tell us where it gets stuck  Remember it can take a while. The new defrag ystem is meant to run in the background and should effect your PC performance that much. How long have you kept it running for and what hard drive do you have connected?crabby |

| Start -> All programs -> Accessories... right click command prompt and 'Run as Administrator'. Once it opens up type defrag C: -a to see how fragmented the drive is. Once that completes, if you want to defragment the drive type defrag C: -w (you can also use -v to show more information during defrag). To get more information on the defrag -? command just type defrag and it will show you all of the extensions.  crabby |

| to follow up on Crabbys suggestion, turnoff your Antiviris program, they normally recheck the movement of files ... that also will cause the defrag to restart and finally hang... (PS: that means no internet connection also). and some Firewalls will also make Defrag hang & restart .
