fragmentation

Which tools can recover fragmented files from a partially overwritten NTFS partition? A friend of mine used a clone drive utility without knowing the implications. It looks like he selected the wrong target drive, and, more importantly, he did not unplug unused devices before using such a...

Hi The image below shows the performance of my drives after being tested by Defraggler. The F drive is the drive that I store my Backup System Image files on, and it is the only one, (based on information that I've read that says don't defrag your backups) that has never been defragmented...

Hi. In earlier windows versions, If I remember correct, I could restore deleted files easy, In recent editions I could not find it anymore, I have bought recuva, It works just fine but it took hours to scan, most time I need to recover single file only and do not need to wait hour(s) to get...

I have a hp pavilion i5 running win 10. It takes 3 min. 40 to boot. I have checked the defrag which shows 78% fragmentation. HP are worst than useless and offer no help. If I use HP recovery it returns to win 7.So can I reinstall win 10 from iso from another machine?The screen after first boot...

Can anyone explain how this disk is only 1% fragmented? Just look at all that red. It doesn't add up.

I am sick of defragmenting really. My largest free space extent is 234.4GB. Why cant Microsoft just improve NTFS to stop fragmentation instead of relying on defragmentation? look at HFS+ and ext4 they prevent fragmentation first!

Hello, I just accidentally deleted 4400 text files (1.5GB) on an NTFS volume that's probably heavily fragmented, although these files were created in a particular sequence. The files contain long columns of numerical data. If the undelete program takes one cluster from one file and another from...

I recently got an external hard drive, and I need help. I finally got Windows running good, after the recent update to 8.1...I do see I have on optimize drives C drive, Winretools(12% fragmented), PBR Image, and some long winded VOLUME file. The VOLUME file is 56% fragmented, and even though...

Anytime I create a backup with True Image, and then analyze it with O&O Defrag, it always shows the entire backup as being fragmented. I have always let it remain that way, because long ago I asked about this somewhere (can't remember now), and was told it was better not to defrag it. However...

I just used the folder sync function of TI to move a few hundred video files from one drive to another, it worked as expected except that when checking the target drive after completion, it was highly fragmented, and it looks as though it is going to take many hours for defragging. I only used...

Something curious that I noticed while defragging my new installation of W7 is that System Volume Information is divided into 5 folders, while the old installation is only divided into two folders, even though far less programs are installed on the new (65GB vs 165GB). As far as I know, this...

I've posted a couple of questions in the past regarding hard drive problems, but not quite like this one. Due to the fact that my Windows 7 installation has become especially sluggish lately, I've been looking at a number of possibilities for dealing with it, including a clean installation of...

Hello Everyone .... The problem is Windows 7 takes time(more) to get into login screen from Win7 boot animation. Note - This only works for HDD ( Hard Drive ). For SSD just arrangement(quick defragmentation) is more than enough. This problem is shown by many notebooks with great hardwares...

Using Defraggler, I cannot get my 1TB boot drive below 30% fragmentation. Is this a problem? Regards, Jim.

Hi I posed a few days ago someplace that I found that defragmenting my C:\ drive gave me a real increase in read speed. From about 3 Mbs to 30. I defraged my B:\ drive (a partition of C:\) and today I tacked D:\ it was a long haul, mostly because it has the compressed back up of C:\ on it...

Hi I know that fragmentation makes a lot of difference. I've had times when the difference between having fragmented files vs un-fragmented files would determine whether some processes would complete or not when generating 3D video. If the files were fragmented it would just hang up after a...
