Defragement won’t defrag

by kinneym_98_98_98 . Updated 22 years, 8 months ago

Recently I went to pcpitstop.com to compare my system to what they have. It told me I need to defrag my primary hard drive. So I scandisk my computer first, then try to defrag. well 5hrs later it says its complete, my computer normally takes this long if not more so thats not the problem. I went back to their site to do a system check again. It says that my primary hard drive still needs defraging. At first I thought it was their site, so I downloaded PerfectDisk to try and do the analize on my primary drive. It makes it to 63% then gives the msg “Stopped by user”. I thought that their might be some programs running in the background there was, so I took them all out. Tried again and this time made it to 64% then got the same msg. now I have 2 hard drives in my computer so I tried my second hard drive and that one worked just fine. Now I’m wondering how I can get my primary hard drive to actually defragment. If theres any way you can help me, asking me more questions, computer info, suggesting different utilities anything would be great.

here are some specs of my computer:
Windows 98 SE
900mhz
2 hard drives 20gig(primary) and 80gig(secondary)
constanly networked to the net.
