I have been defragging my laptop, I've used piriform defraggler and the built in defragger on my lap top.

However it still shows that drive D is 93% fragmented and disk C is 39% fragmented Is this acceptable, if not does any one have any advice on improving it?

Cheers

    You could go to the file view on Defraggler and defrag a few files at a time.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • I would suggest using Windows defrag option. Why would a 3rd Party software know more about Windows than Microsoft.

    Try clicking on the following (in Windows XP):

    Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmentor

    I hope this helps

    I've used the Windows built in defrag (Twice) in the last two days and it has made no difference.

    Silly question, but is it as simple as "Anaylising" then clicking on "View Files". Are all the files it shows the files that are fragmented. If so is it just a case of ticking the box next to the file and defraging them?
