Hello All, in C:drive, Properties, Tools, the Defragment says, No Defragmentation tool is currently installed, and the Defrag Now Tab is in Grey. I do not have a windows xp CD How do i sort it please?? Windows XP Pro

Go HERE For a better defragment program than the default one that comes with XP. Lessons learnt the hard way are not easily forgotten.

This should start the defragment tool. First you'll have to be able to view hidden files so go to start>control panel>folder options>view tab> check the circle beside "show hidden files and folders">apply>ok. Next navigate to C:\WINDOWS\INF\DFRG.INF and right click on it>click install. It may not be necessary but reboot the computer. Go back and hide your hidden files.

Hi, My defrag freezes on 1% so I followed Jabuch`s inst: start>control panel>folder options>view tab> check the circle beside "show hidden files and folders">apply>ok. When I click on 0k after apply my system returns to control panel so I am not able to complete inst. Any suggestions? Windows Xp system
