I know I'm an idiot. I need to defrag...How? - GoFuckYourself.com

BVF · 02-15-2004, 06:46 PM

I have XP home edition. This one dude who sold me a video editing computer showed me how to do it but I forgot. I'd like to do it overnight.

Any help?

kirupai · 02-15-2004, 06:47 PM

doober · 02-15-2004, 06:48 PM

Great free software.

CDSmith · 02-15-2004, 06:50 PM

START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>SYSTEM TOOLS>DISK DEFRAGMENTER

At least that's it for any Windows OS I've used thus far.

Its stupid to defragment your whole drive.

Get that software I posted and only defrage the files that need it.

Fletch XXX · 02-15-2004, 06:57 PM

i defrag every week or so.

i think it brings me luck.

if there is such a thing

It can be bad for the longevity of a disk drive to defrag a lot, but only if theres substantial fragmentation to the drive. If you run defrag weekley and it only small parts of the drive are moved its good, But rearanging substantial chunks of data weekly will make your drive die sooner.

jacobt · 02-15-2004, 07:10 PM

uh can you actually prove that jesus? sounds like bullshit to me - defragging wouldn't give the drive more shit than moving a large folder from one place to another.

i buy new boxes every 6 months regardless.

i got a box cemetary.

i deal with large amounts of data and delete said data afterwards, I also deal with gig size audio so getting rid of those gaps is good.

i download gigs of content per week, and its deleted after the job... and gigs of audio are moved around, defragging often is the only logical solution.

When you "move a folder" to somplace on the same drive the al lthat is modifyed is the "folder information" No actuall blocks are read wor ritten.

When you defrag EVERY block of the area being defragmented is read, witten to a new place, marked as blank, and then depending on whether a new block is put there, written to again.

its common fucking sense that the drive will wear out.

Even writing a large file is a set of contiguous block writes. When defragmenting the "needle" (I dont know what its called) is jumping from block to block all over the place.

Commen sense mechanics champ.

Yea me too... But running a linux storage server on your network is actualy the best solution. Unless the drive is NEAR capacity you will not have fragmentation problems on a *nix machine.

BVF · 02-15-2004, 07:46 PM

well I just defragged the C drive and for some reason, IE is taking up 80-90% of my power still. I have 42% free on the C drive and 28% on the D drive. I don't know what in the fuck is wrong with this.

wyldblyss · 02-15-2004, 08:34 PM

Is it just your IE that is slow and other things like email etc. seem normal? Taking forever for pages to load and to switch between IE windows? If so, clean your cache and lower the amount of space devoted to it. That is what happened to my computer at work and that is what the problem ended up being.

It's only when i'm browsing the internet. It happens with both IE and AOL. I've already cleaned out my cache with Ultrawincleaner but I don't know how to devote less space to it.

AOL? That's your first problem. Anyhow I sometimes use IE when stuff doesn't render with Opera. To devote less disk space to cache from IE goto the Tools menu and click "Internet Options..." Halfway down the "General" tab there will be a section titled Temporary Internet Files, which is what they call "disk cache" in Redmond, WA. Click the "Settings..." button and use the slider to adjust the amount of space that this takes up on your hard drive. I don't know if that answers your question, but I hope it helps.

Thanks. I have defragged the machine, deleted unnecessary files, devoted less space to the cache and my shit is STILL fucked up.

I have a Dumaru.Q virus on here that my AVG software that can't get it off of my machine and surfing some TGP's somehow got me hooked up to where I am redirected through http://ehttp.cc before almost every webpage. I have to run spybot every time I start up the machine because it won't go away.

So I guess I have to go to the store and get something that can definitely get this Dumaru virus off of my shit because AVG for windows isn't working

KRosh · 02-16-2004, 07:14 PM

do this

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FxDumaru.com

this is the removal tool.

then

click on start - accessories - system tools - disk clean up

clean up your temp files
or in ieyou can just type %temp% and hit enter...but if you do that .. you will have to know what files to really remove so just do the disk cleanup.

then run spybot after you have downloaded the latest definitions.
