    Default 98-SE Defrag issues

    No matter what I do, I cannot defragment my hard drive. Even when I start in safe mode, it says that something has interrupted the hard drive and defrag will restart, then I just hear my hard drive working continuously but after leaving it running for 12 hours it still never did anything. I tried running scandisk in DOS then disabling the scan part of defrag, and it still wouldn't make it past 0%. Help!

    I myself don't recommend using the Default defrag program from windows.

    its better to use something 3rd party, also make sure everything in the background is closed.
    i.e your taskbar is full of stuff you can either "close, disable"

    try running Diskkeeper in safe mode. since only the necessary software that needs to be up will make it easier to defrag.

    I had the same problem. The solution was to go into the Task Mgr. and close all running programs EXCEPT SYS TRAY and EXPLORER!!! The regular windows defrag should work then by going thru the START/PROGRAMS/
    ACCESSORIES/SYSTEM TOOLS/DISK DEFRAG
