DISK DEFRAG PROBLEMS

Hi,

I have a Dimension 4100 866Mhz blah blah blah. The problem I have is the following: Whenever I attempt a defragmentation of my hard drive the bloody thing freezes. Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing after this. This is a recent problem though as I was able to peform defrags before this.

Anybody know what's up here?

cheers

    Hi magnumpi
    It sounds like you have things runnung in the back ground..
    do the ctrl+alt+del first and end task on everything except systray and explorer..
    if you still have a problem post back and those smarter than I will help..

    I had the same problem, did the elimation thing like thumperdj suggested and it worked. You also are supposed to reboot when you are finished.

    Try disabling your virus program prior to doing the defrag. See if this works.
