- Tom has a 200 GB hard drive partition (Known as C:) on a Windows Computer. He has 15 GB free space on the partition. Which of the following statements best describes how he can defrag the partition?
He can run the Disk Defragmenter in Computer Management
He can run defrag.exe -f on the command line.
He can run defrag.exe -v on the command line.
He can run defrag.exe -A on the command line.
He can run defrag.exe -f on the command line.
Explanation:
Use defrag.exe -f. You need to have 15 percent free space on your partition to defrag it in the Disk Defragmenter GUI-based utility. In the scenario, Tom would need 30 GB free on the 200 GB drive. However, you can force a defrag on a partition even if you don’t have enough free space by using the -f switch in the command line. (-f may not be necessary in some versions of Windows.)
Incorrect answers:
Because there is only 15 GB of free space on the 200 GB drive (7.5 percent free), the defrag probably won’t work properly from within the Disk Defragmenter utility.
The -v switch gives you verbose (or wordy) output.
The -a switch gives analysis only and does not perform defragmentation.
