Computer Q&A Board / Other Computer Problems / defragmentation of all drives
Posted by: billrobb, February 9th, 2008, 6:48pm
When I defragment my PC I have to choose one drive at a time, and then go onto another drive. CAn I set it up to defragment all the drives without having to start the process over each time? Thanks, bill

You should be able to make a bat file and run the bat file. A bat file is a text file (a file made in Notepad) with the .bat ending. The .bat ending tells Windows to run the commands in it. You would put commands in it to run each drive.
So make a Notepad file with the following text in it:
defrag c:
defrag d:
defrag e:
Put whatever drives you want to defrag in the commands above. One line for each drive.
Save the file so that it has a .bat ending to it (for example, you could call it DefragAllDrives.bat). Find the file and double click on it when you want to defrag all of your drives.
If it does not work with the word, defrag, you may need to specify where defrag is located. For examle, C:\Windows\system32\defrag c:
