lowzeewee Posted June 15, 2003 Author Posted June 15, 2003 Nothing detected.....I think my hard drive has some unusable parts. :(
Apollyon Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Close down all those programs running in the system tray and then try.
gryphon Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Have you got about 18% or more free space on that HD ?
Nyarlathotep Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Did you try everything what's stated on the page I posted ? If so, you've done that rather fast (or you have a small harddrive)...
Apollyon Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 Try getting into the task manager and closing down all non-essential programs and processes and trying again...
Ice_Cube Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 try restarting the computer in safe mode and then running the defrag. This worked for me when I couldn't defrag.To restart in safe mode, you press F8 at some point in the loading I think. Just keep tapping F8 when it is loading the computer ;)
