Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / May 2004defrag
My Norton System Doctor gives me a percentage of fragmatized disc; below 95% they say it's time to defrag. The defrag process of late takes more than two hours and still won't finish; instead I get a message that there isn't enough disc space and to turn off unneeded programs. It appears that something is running in the background, but the Close Program list shows the normal things: Explorer, Monwow, Csinsm32, Em_exec, Iedriver, Systray, Nprotect and Rundll32. Is there another way to check for running progarms? Chris Process Explorer could offer more information. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml How large is your hard disk and how much free space. With Disk Defragmenter you need a certain amount of free space and I seem to recollect that this also applies to the Norton Utility.  Signature~~~~~~ Hope this helps.

Chris -Protected Storage is hidden system file created by a Norton Utility. ~~~~~~ Regards.
