Hi Ed,

To the best of my knowledge, all PC-133 memory is backward compatible with 
PC-100 so that should not have been a problem. 384 MB is the maximum amount 
of memory for that model.

When the Windows 98/Millennium Disk Defragmenter runs, it needs exclusive 
access to Windows. When anything interferes with it (writes to the hard 
drive) it restarts at the beginning. You can always run it in Safe Mode, but 
I never had a problem with it completing using this procedure: First, insure 
the Screensaver (Control Panel / Display Properties) is set to "None" and 
close all open programs and windows. Then, hold down the "Ctrl" and "Alt" 
keys and tap the "Del" key once. This opens the "Close Program" window. With 
the exception of "Explorer", select each item listed, one by one, to include 
"Systray", and click the "End Task" button. You may have to open the Close 
Program window several times and "End Task" more than once for the same 
item. When only Explorer remains, click the "Cancel" button and proceed to 
run ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter.

Subject: [PCBUILD] computer will not finish d-frag


I've been up grading an old Gateway G6-350 for a friend, I changed out th
e PC-133 memory for PC-100,which is correct for the motherboard in the ma
chine. I also found that the 384 gigs of memory was too much for this mot
herboard, there was 1 PC 133 256 gig chip and 1 PC 100 128 gig chip. My p
roblem now is the d-frag will not finish, it goes to only 4% and starts o
ver again, after several hours of this I decided to ask the readers of PC
 BUILD for help. One other thing the scandisk ran just fine with no error
s on the hard drive(yes I did run scandisk before I tried to d-frag).
