7.5 Hour Defragging?

Recommended Posts

Windows XP SP3 160 Gigabyte NTFS Drive, 100 Gigabyte used. Using Free Version of Defraggler. Drive was 17% Fragmented. Defragging took 7.5 hours to perform. Is this normal for this size and age of drive? Defragging was successful and Defraggler reported the drive's health to be Good.

Although 7.5hrs does seem overly long, there may be some valid reasons.

If the drive has never been defrag'd and has lots of temp files for example.

 

Wouldn't hurt to run CCleaner first, if for no other reason than not to defrag files that don't need to be there.

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.
