valeriu28 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hello, so i used for the first time Defraggler last night on my windows partition which has around 40GB( out of 200gb ) + few programms . Health said : Good and it had around 20% fragmentation after i did a full defrag which lasted around 1hour 30 minutes it said 17% frag , but after i analyzed it again before i turned off my PC it said 32% which i find really wierd . My windows is 8.2 . If any1 could tell me what means fragmentations or %fragmentations or a solve to this if i did something wrong cuz i went in with default settings ; Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any1 could tell me what means fragmentations or %fragmentations or a solve to this if i did something wrong cuz i went in with default settings ; Thank you Did you move any data out of the hard drive, after the process? From what I've seen of my usage of the program (I am not a engineer so this is just what I observed and think is happening), the % of fragmentation is calculated by Total Size of Fragmented Files/Total USED Space. So, when I was doing the defragmentation, I moved space out of my hard drive because people said you need at least 15% of the drive free, I went from 56% fragmentation to 70%. This happens because, for example, if you have 300GB of files that are fragmented, and the total used space is 1000GB - even if your actually hard drive space might be 10 TB in total - you have 30% fragmentation. If, however, you remove 500GB from the hard drive, leaving used space as only 500GB, your hard drive will now be shown as 60% fragmented. I actually did the calculations to check this. But, again, I am not very familiar with defragmentation software so I could be wrong. So, the percentage is now how much that particular partition is fragmented but how much of the used space is.

Moderators mta Posted December 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 31, 2014 Windows 8.2 ??? Did you have Stop VSS and Exclude restore point and Exclude Hibernation file ticked ? What is the File List tab showing that is causing the new fragmentation ? If its the paging file, try a Boot Time Defrag to remedy that file. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
