re: SLOW running dos program in XP Thursday, February 12, 2004 at 5:45 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JB (5 messages posted) Do not despair. Have you defragmented MFT? Are you sure? I had several attempts before I achieved it. It has to run without Windows running, and I had difficulty in getting it right. You have to 'Change your settings', then select 'Set a boot-time defragmentation' and select 'Defragment the Master File Table' . Before defragmentation starts, you have to respond to a 'Y/N' question with Y, and if you do not do it in time, the defragmentation does not happen. I hope that is all you need.
