Defragment Issues In Win98 Laptop
February 24th, 2009 | 
Author: I received a call from a friend today and he told me he is unable to defragment his laptop.
It came to huge surpise that his laptop is still running Windows 98SE operating system!
WHOA !!!!!
To backtrack to today, it is an operating system most considered extinct and definately want to forget. It’s been 10 years since its release and within that 10 years cycle we have seen Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista came into existence.
The answer to why people are still using Windows 98SE …… is somewhat a mystery but anyway because it was a friend of mine so I decided to help out.
If you encounter your Windows 98SE laptop having problems with Disk Defragmentation and having an error that says “Defrag004” then you would have to perform a scan disk first before proceeding.
For those who are very familiar with MS-Dos command prompt, type scandisk /all/Autofix .
Then proceed the defragmentation as per normal. The defragmentation process should run as it is.
