I am trying to defrag a Windows 2000 server. I have Raid 5 running with 4 hard drives. Total space is 102Gb with 25Gb free. When the defrag gets to 23% the defrag hangs and gets no further. Any suggestions on the problem?
 
Hi,

First try to free up more space. Defrag moves files that it wants to reorganize. If defrag doesn't have the space anymore, Defrag stops.

So if you can move the swapfile to another harddisk, defrag would probably continue.

Good Luck
