I wanted to defragment my C drive today, and i haven't done it before. I've only used the defragment feature for removable disks, and that usually works smoothly for me.
Then it said there were error and i needed to skandisk and repair problems, then try to defragment it again.
I used scandisk, and it restarted 10 times, said there were programs running that were writting on C drive and i needed to stop those programs. what programs? How would I go about stopping these programs for the time that i'm doing this? I didn't have any open windows, and everything was off my toolbar because explorer caused an error and shutdown when i was trying to defragment the first time. all i had on my toolbar was the time. what should i do now? i restarted and the computer is running the same as usual now, but i'd still like to clean up my C drive.
