UNSOLVED
Defrag Question
I was running defrag last night and ran into a bit of a problem. I ended all tasks except Systray and Explorer and started Disk Defrag. I would get to about 50%, revert to 47%, get back to 50%, and then back to 47%, etc. After about an hour of this I just stopped defrag, rebooted, and started over. Same thing. This is the first time this has happened. I have had this T700r for 3 months. Any clues?
Thanks in advance....

Hi Eric,
Try your System Maintance using the method in my post below and see if it works for you.
