DEFRAGMENTING A DOUBLESPACED DRIVE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The DoubleSpace DEFRAGment command is used on a DoubleSpaced
|
|||
|
|
compressed drive. The program doesn't really defragment the
|
|||
|
|
drive, however it does consolidate the free space. Do this at
|
|||
|
|
least once a month. It should be considered routine hard drive
|
|||
|
|
maintenance. First use the CHKDSK command.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Change to the compressed drive and then issue a CHKDSK
|
|||
|
|
command like so:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
c: <ENTER>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
chkdsk /f <ENTER>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The /F tells DOS to fix errors.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another option is to do it like so:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
dblspace /chkdsk /f <ENTER>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A shortcut for the DBLSPACE /CHKDSK /F command is:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
dblspace /chk /f <ENTER>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Defragmenting a large hard drive can take a very long
|
|||
|
|
time. To consolidate a DoubleSpace compressed drive,
|
|||
|
|
change to the compressed drive and then issue a command
|
|||
|
|
like so:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
dblspace /defragment <ENTER>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A shortcut for the above command is:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
dblspace /def <ENTER>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
