error msg DEFRAG009, which tells me that my computer does not have enough free memory to perform the operation. The below info probably is not on point since your hd is not partioned but the issue of cluster size was interesting. windows-help.net support.microsoft.com SYMPTOMS When you attempt to run Disk Defragmenter (Defrag.exe) or ScanDisk (Scandskw.exe), you may receive one of the following error messages: Your computer does not have enough free memory to defrag the drive. Quit one or more programs. ID# Defrag009 ScanDisk could not continue because your computer does not have enough available memory. CAUSE This issue can occur if you are running Windows on a hard disk that is larger than 8 gigabytes (GB) in size and has a cluster size less than 8 kilobytes (KB). This configuration may be created if you use a third-party disk tool to create a partition on a hard disk that is larger than 8 (GB) in size and has a cluster size less than 8 KB. RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, contact the manufacturer of the third-party hard disk tool to inquire about a possible update to the software that resolves this issue. MORE INFORMATION The standard FAT32 cluster size of 4,096 bytes only applies for hard disks smaller than 8 GB. The third-party hard disk tool may change the cluster size to 4,096 bytes per allocation unit. The default cluster sizes are listed in the following table. Hard disk size Cluster size ------------------------------- 512 MB to 8 GB 4 KB 8 GB to 16 GB 8 KB 16 GB and larger 16 KB Additional query words: HWDDRV Edited: I use enditall before running the defrag program in Norton utility (which I prefer to the Windows defrag program)
