"undefragable" Files?

[zorton]

Hi all...Just a minute of your time, please.

 

I did some routine housecleaning last night and finished it off with a defrag before I left for work. My wife printed the report for me at lunch and this was at the very bottom;

 

Fragments......File Size......Files that cannot be defragmented

2.....................14MB..........\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\tvDebug.log

2......................648KB........\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\MIKESCOMPUTER.ldb

 

Any ideas???

 

Thanks..

 

Mike

I had the same problem before and the only way that I could fix the problem was to delete the files.

just cuz those are system files. I wouldnt worry though, small files dont defragment much.

A second defrag can, sometimes, organize those small files. ^_^

i use diskeeper (no the best but IMO better than windows basic) and it usually gets those files ... then again diskeeper always reports some amount of fragmentation right after a defrag (een after 4 times) ... i think i need a better one ...

i meant that the dont fragment much. sorry

My mum has this problem with the WD in her Dell, it never defrags properly. I think it's dying because it also makes a very loud noise constantly, it's like whirring.

 

Your hard drive could be going to pot.

anyways, my computer has some of those, I dont worry about it too much, you will never totally defrag the drive...
