Go to My Computer, find the partition in question, right-click it, click properties. You should see a line for Capacity – this is the total storage on the drive. Then look above and you'll see Free Space. Do the math to determine whether that equates to 15% amount of space that is free on the drive.

Try that first David.

Hi Gil,

At least from Windows Defrag, I am unable to even do an analysis. Might it be possible to see what is going on from the dos prompt?

I do not know how much free space there is.

Thanks,
David

David,

It's possible you don't have enough free space to defrag the partition. You
need between 12% and 15% free space to defrag. Do you have that amount of
space free? If so, try using Defraggler - which allows you to pick whichever
partition you want defragged.

Hi Group,

I thought someone in the group might know how to degrag a System partition.
I have an HP that appears to have 3 partions, OS (C:), HP_Recovery(D:) and
System (no drive designation).

The other day the System partition came up saying it was (6% fragmented),
but I am unable to Defrag it, either during a scheduled or manual defrag.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
David
