Device drivers, programs that load at startup (such as antivirus and firewall software), or even screen savers, are the most frequent causes of interruption of defragmentation, and the display a message like "... on the drive has changed. For security, disable them all by restarting your computer in safe mode (F8 before there appears the first screen of Windows).

To defragment your hard disk needs some space on your diskdrive. If the diskdrive is full or almost normal defragmentation does not occur. Make your household already typing diskdrive *. tmp search and delete all temporary files and the programs that you do not use and also remember to ensure that there is space of about 15 % of your actual data.
