I run Windows Defragmenter manually once a month and have after it's done I always get 0% fragmented. However, I ran it yesterday and I got this result: C: 0% fragmented Recovery D: 0% fragmented System: 5% fragmented I would like to know why my System is 5% fragmented. I use a Compaq laptop and had it for about a year, running on Windows 7, 32-bit. I did a disk check prior to the defrag.

I am having the same problem. I use a HP laptop and have also had it for about a year the only thing diffrent is I am running 64 bit and I get the result that my system is 1% fragmented.

Have you erased all the restore points you don't need? Did you delete the page file before de fragmenting? See here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314834 to delete it automatically every time you shut down. http://windows7themes.net/how-to-delete-pagefile-sys-in-windows-7.html to delete it once, then remember to re-enable after another pass of the defragmenter. Also, if you have a SSD (solid state drive) there is no need to defrag, in fact it's bad for the drive. -- G. Morgan
