Defrag problem

If you try to defragment your hard drive, it freezes at 28%, and the defragmentation process stalls.

This usually happens because some background process is interrupting the defragmentation, by accessing your hard drive at the same time as the defragmenter.

To fix this, you should run the defragmenter in Safe Mode, where all background tasks are stopped. To do so:
 * 1) Reboot your PC, and as it restarts tap the [**F8**] key to access the **Advanced Options** menu.
 * 2) Use the arrow keys to choose **Safe Mode** and then press [**Enter**].
 * 3) Once in Safe Mode, click **Start** > **All Programs** > **Accessories** > **System Tools** > **Disk Defragmenter**.
 * 4) Run the defragmentation tool as normal - you should now find it works perfectly.
