    LOL, I ve just uninstalled, gone to the piriform site and there are lots of people saying the same thing. One of the solutions offered is on the program, disable the option to move large files to the end (or somesuch). Ive reinstalled, done that and it hopped off quick - thought Id sussed it. An hour later its on 31% again and doesnt seem to be moving. :( Ill leave it a while and see if it changes.

    Have you tried defragging individual files, as I suggested earlier?

    Well, blow me, I have just gone to look at how its getting on and it says "Defrag complete". How strange. Seems like it does do the job but the 31% stays there even when its moved on.

    ...Brit, I tried the onboard, after 4 hours, someone suggested defraggler was erm, quicker :)

    The fastest way that I know of (irrespective of the software that you use) is to do defrag in safe mode. :cool:
