 Hi All.
Yesterday August 10 I'm forced to return quickly to my Windows NT4 SP5 with his robust kernel fixed by five Service Packs, because I was bombed on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 by brutal fragmentation on NTFS5. Unfortunatelly the Defragment don't solved the problem and I was forced to defrag the Win 2000 partition using the Diskeeper 4.0 from my NT4 SP5 Server. With this tool I solved the problem and now, Wednesday 11, I'me here once again working on Windows 20000.

Well, everyone, the black photo that you can see above is just the Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 running in Safe Mode (I pressed F8 during the boot). I tried this option in order t repair this OS after a brutal failure. I was working fine on my new IDE when the Cuco advised me that an e-mail from Frank Klosek is incoming. I stopped my work and commanded Narrator in order to read this e-mail for me. Klosek, author of File Jet, was informing that an Y2K update have been released and I jumped his web site for the download. When I was retrieving the file my Get Right crashes and the system freezes. I started Task Manager in order to kill the process but the Task Manager itself also was freeze. I pressed several times Ctrl + Alt + Del and received the advise: "The program not responding". I suspected that the partition is fragmented and started the Defrag. I recommended the defragmentation and I commanded it, but when de task is performed and I started the analysis new defragmentation was requested! I runned the Defrag 8 times and once again new defragmentation was solicited!
I performed a complete check disk with exclusive access; runned in Safe Mode; restored my Registry (I was backuped it with Resplendent Registrar) and...nothing! My Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 is really freeze! Fortunatelly I've here a copy of Diskeeper 4.0 for NT Server and I used it to solve this problem. In the two screenshots below you can see the Diskeeper 4.0 running on NTFS5 (partition H inside my Server). Note the brutal fragmentation (in red). The first screenshot shows the analysis and the second screenshot shows the partition after the first defragmentation by Diskeeper 4.0.

With this operation I solved the problem an can run once again my new IDE on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3!
