Windows 7 isin't letting me defragment my hard drive. Despite being an NTFS system, the Disk Defragmenter is only letting me analyze.
I've scheduled the computer to defragment once every month but it's pointless if the system won't do what it's supposed to. The computer is a brand-new Lenovo PC.
Thanks! I downloaded the Auslogics Disk Defragmenter and Auslogics BoostSpeed tool. Both are far superior to Microsoft. Amazingly, I'm not even a month in to owning this thing and there are already 324 registry errors, 1,228 junk files and apparently a disk error situation marked as 'Critical'. The only downside is I have to purchase BoostSpeed in order to fix all the issues. Is there a free alternative?

If your system is brand new and already is encountering bad spots on disk bring it back and get it fixed/replaced...

I do have a purchased version of Boostspeed (50 green ones for use on 3 computers), and each time it runs, it *always* finds a *disk error* sometimes even error(s) ...
I guess, it is not really a disk error, but a disk read error or a disk write error ???
Each time the disk is *repaired*. If the disk has a bad spot, how does it get repaired each time ???
All 3 machines run without hiccups,
so I have not been that concerned yet ...
Are they *fast(er)* after Boostspeed ??? who knows ???
My opinion is that a slow computer could be slow because of the programme that happens to be used.
I had two PDF readers. One took almost forever to load a PDF file, the other one just popped up a fraction of a second after I clicked on it.
Needless to say I dumped the slowpoke.
Strange thing is that it (Boostspeed) always says that there is one programme that slows down the computer.
It never fixes it, and it does not say which one it is ??? Duuuuh ...
Maybe it is Boostspeed itself ???
This is interesting. I just booted up the computer and now BoostSpeed indicates 323 registry errors, 1247 junk files, and NO disk errors. It lost one registry error, gained 19 junk files and lost the disk error all in 15 minutes without me doing anything.
That seems odd.

I'm beginning to think so.
