re: problem to use disk defragmenter

Hi, I have the same disk defragmenter problem with Windows XP Professional. I successfully ran the commands specified below. The Defragmenter MMC loads successfully, however when I want to Analyze or Defragment the Hard Drive, nothing happens when I press the corresponding buttons. I've looked on the Microsoft site but they don't seem to have any solutions for this problem on WIndows XP. Can you or anybody maybe help me out here? I really don't want to reinstall because this is the server for a small LAN. Thank you. Crusty (email: epost@ananzi.co.za)
