Problems defragmenting the hard disc Wednesday, May 31, 2006 at 12:27 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sue Smith (14 messages posted) Sue Smith The last time I defragged my hard disc it took 36 hours. It kept telling me it was 98 percent complete then went back to the beginning again, in the end I aborted the process. It normally only takes about 40 minutes to complete. Can anyone suggest why this should suddenly start to happen. I had recently deleted a lot of photos and wonder if this had something to do with it. Can anyone suggest why after 4 years my computer is behaving like this? I am unable to disable the 'read only' box in Windows Explorer Properties on photoes written to CD from memory card on my Apacer Steno CP200 which I want to maniuplate in Photoshop. Can anyone help?
