Question: Defragging my computer? My computer wont defrag. It goes into "check drive for errors" then after 5 minutes I get a window that says it has tried to defrag 10 times but the windows system is busy. How do I change this situation? I successfully defragged the computer when I first got it but it suddenly starting doing this. I'm lost and its been a long time since it was last defragged. Please help. I'm not real bright with computers so any help needs to be at the novice level. Thanks.

Answer: I am thinking you are a win 98 user, if you reboot into safe mode, then defrag, then it will run just fine.
