have seen as high as 7.

they seem to get faster the further along it goes.

look into using AUSLOGICS degragger instead.

faster and also has an option to move system files to the front.

* Programs you are having problems with

* Error messages

* Recent changes you made to your computer

* What you have already tried to fix the problem

I have just taken 12 passes to complete the defrag process so be patient, you'll get there.

I'm on pass 6, but it's been almost 24 hours. I'm looking into AUSLOGICS, but do I stop the defragmenting now when it's still running?
