- Defrag taking long time
- Posted by bsbm525 on May 5th, 2006
Hello,
I'm running a defrag on a notebook with a 30GB capacity & 21GB free and
Windows XP Pro SP2 and it's been at 22% for two hours and it's stating it's
moving file - REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE for a while now. When I check Task
Mgr, it states defrag is still running and the CPU is running at 100%.
However, the HD light isn't blinking. Should I be more patient or is there a
problem I should be aware of?
Thank you.

Stop the process, restart in safe mode, and then run defrag.

Deactivate the virus scanner, in particular, and try another defrag
program like O&O Defrag.
