Go to FILE - OPTIONS - OFFLINE DEFRAGMENTATIONīullet in EXECUTE ONCE ON NEXT SYSTEM STARTUP Once done the system should automatically reboot back into Windows. The disk check will run automatically while booting.

Click START.Ī box will appear telling you the disk check cannot be performed. In the box that appears place a check in "Automatically Fix File System Errors" nothing else. Go to MY COMPUTER - Right click your C drive, select PROPERTIES, then TOOLS TAB. Reboot when it is finished.īefore you do the offline defrag I want you to run a Windows Disk Check and have it repair any problems. DONT touch the system while it is doing that. Let it run and DO NOT TOUCH THE SYSTEM FOR ANY REASON WHILE IT IS RUNNING.Īfter it completes the first defrag pass, reboot the system and run the SAME SPACE defrag AGAIN. From the menu, select DEFRAGMENTATION then select SPACE. In the top pane click your C drive and highlight it. O&O v11 ONLY: DISABLE 'MONITORING' ON THE MAIN SCREEN LEAVE THIS ALONE FOR NOW but we will change it later. O&O DEFRAG VERSION 11: DISABLE THE TRAY SYSTEM (last option) The first time it is run a wizard will appear, just get rid of it and if possible, select to not have it run again (there may be a checkbox for that in the wizard that appears) Once you get rid of the wizard, do the following THE ONLY VERSION THAT MUST NOT RUN THE SPACE DEFRAG AS OUTLINED ABOVE IS VERSION 10īoot O&O Defrag.

NOTE: O&O v11 IS CONFIRMED TO WORK THE SAME AS v8.6.

See several posts down for links to the product if you are on XP圆4 or Vista 圆4 you need the X64 version of O&O Defrag. (you will see the list below) after that only run the COMPLETE\NAME defrag as I outline below If you do use version 10 of O&O Defrag, do DO NOT run the SPACE defrag past the first 2 defrag passes and never again. NOTE IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE HARD DRIVE IN THE SYSTEM YOU MUST PERFORM THE SAME DEFRAG RUNS ON EACH DRIVE EXACTLY AS I OUTLINE BELOW.
