How much free space have you got on the drive?

Yes, and its 4% free, you click the button and nowt happens??

I can't remember if there's a minimum amount of free space you need for defrag to work, but 4% is probably not enough. The defragger has to shuffle files around the hard drive while it does it's job, and it needs free space to do so. :)

you'll want to free up at least 10 - 15% to do a defrag.
also try o&o defrag, worked much ebtter than the windows one for me.

Yeah, IIRC it needs 10% disk space.

You're going to have to delete/move some files! :p

Cheers for ze help guys :)

yea i also recommend O&O, windows defrag can run for many hours...

Your only supposed to use 2 thirds of your hard drives space.
Otherwise it slows it down.
If youve got a 120gb hard drive you only wanna use 80gbs.
Me myself, i never put music or anything else apart from the operating system and applications on the boot drive. Data and audio or video etc, dont mix.

diskeeper is a good one too, the best bit is the constant defrag and MRU file arrangement.
This basically means you never have to defrag, it does it by itself when your HDD is idle and the files you use most often are on the quicker parts of the disk.

the windows one looks very pretty but does very little, arguably nothing compared to better ones.
