defrag problems

Question

Sign in to vote

I have an electronic hard disk and manufacture notified me that defragmentation of this hard disk could harm it. I need to know how to during tune up to stop defragmentation. At this time it doesn't finish defrag but I don't want anything to go wrong with disk. What can I do to stop the defrag and get good ratings for my computer?

Thanks,

Marc

There is no configurable parameter in OneCare to turn off Defrag or configure it to ignore a drive. It is on by default and will happen during tune-up.

You can use the information in this post (at your own risk) to disable Defrag via a Registry Edit in the meantime.
