Houston, We have a problem

[bum]

Doing some HDD maintenance and I saw this, Though I think its was worse before(it was so fragged up that icons got messed up).



:freak:

I sense my harddrive is dying...

You need this:

The Pro version gives you a 30 day trial.

I usually use O&O defrag, it works great.


Microsoft sucks at defragging...

Holy crap, thats bad. Yea I definitly Agree on O&O Defrag. It roks. Has alot of Great features and five different ways to defrag a drive depending on your need.

 

[bum]

I'll try some of those, but this drive has to be like 8 years old. I wish they made drives with a lifefime warranty.

disk perfect is the other good one that I am aware of.

HA HA HA that is so bad lol
Anyways, next time I need to defrag I'm gonna use O&O for myself, heard lots of good things about it. Windows defrag takes forever and it never gets it all done until the second or third pass.

Well, thanks Trotter it worked great. I was just going to reformat, because thats why I have two drives, but no need.

DUDE!
Just what is it that you do on your computer to mess up your hard drive like that. I have not seen any thing like that since my Windows-98-on-3Gb-HHD-and-I-just-got-a-CD-Burner days

Yea that is bad. My hard drives don't even get that bad and I do all kinds of stuff on my computer.

My disks were fragmented much worse. Especially drive E:\

Here's a screenshot of my disks a couple of weeks ago:

And here is a screenshot of how it looks now:

Defragging D:\ and E:\ took extremely long. Especially E:\ because it doesn't have much space. I moved tons of files a from E:\ before defragging, but most files on E:\ are really huge, so it still was a slow process. (for big files you need more continious free space, or it will defrag block-by-block = slow).
