Why is the hard drive still fragmented after I run defraggler

defragmenthard drive

I ran defraggler last night because and I let it run while I slept. I woke up this morning and it still told me my hard drive was 20% fragmented. So I ran it again before I left the house for a couple hours. I come back, and it still says 19% fragmented.

What is the reason for this? Is it normal or is there a problem with my hard drive? I'm preparing to re-manage my partitions so I thought it would be smart to defrag first.

Edit: After a third reanalysis, Puran Defrag and Defraggler both tell me I have only 125mb fragmentation. Just some kind of fluke I guess.

Best Answer

An alternative is to use a better defragger that can do boot time defrag.
