I normally let Vista perform a regularly scheduled Defrag, but I was having
performance issues that did not appear to be infection related (scanned the
Dell laptop with AVG/Kaspersky online/Trojan Remover and found nothing).
Around 4pm I started "defrag.exe c: -c -w -v" in a dos window, under Vista
SP2.
Well, it displayed a brief text report, early on, in the dos window, and the
drive light has been blinking away, with obvious activity for the past 10
hours!
Here's my Defrag report:
indication, of course, how many more hours I am going to have to wait for it
to finish)... I can do other tasks out side the dos window and run things
normally, but I'd like to take my defragger and go home now, it's getting
late. LOL!
How does one stop this safely?
AND, anything else out there (that you've had no major issues with) that will give me SOME kind of idea when the "drive blinkies" will end, when I defrag? Open to third party solutions...
I don't want to simply kill the task, unless I know that the files won't be
left in a damaged state (but then again, they may already be shuffled like a
deck of cards by a dealer with convulsize tendencies).
8-O
P.S. Running in Windows Safe Mode, if it makes a difference.
