My defrag program says it is unable to gain access to selected drive. It says another process may have the drive locked???

if you are referring the processing of data through you computer
all data needs to processed through your CPU central processing unit adding more ram can speed the process up

test or replace all leads make sure they are securely seated and are not bad/faulty that are attached to your (((motherboard to your hard drive)))

a computer needs all of the data and power to travel through every working device and to have an end to be able work properly

a motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive

check all electrical extensions make sure they are securely seated even the cd/dvd floppy drives need to have current go through make sure these drives are working also it could be a dirty computer clean all of the dust from your computer you could use a vacuum cleaner but whatever you use make absolutely sure there is no moisture gets to anything in your computer

1 possible resolution that I could think of for your problem is to perform disk defragmentation.

You can access the program by following the steps below:

- click start go to all programs
- click accessories > system tools > disk defragmenter
- select desired drive
- click defragment button


NOTE: process may take longer depends on your computer.

Cheers.

Connect that to your PC. Go to MyComputer. Right click on the drive and select properties. Select tools tab and click on defragment now. This will start defrag process.

Please use defragmenter to examine your harddrive. If your drive detected on your CMOS system that's possible having a bad cluster. In accessing the defragmetation goto Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Defragmenter. Then select the the volume of drive you want to defrag and click defragment. Wait until processing done. Defragmenter is working automatically to fix any bad sector found in your hardware so there is no problem how to fix it.

Hope this will be helpful to you, rate me SOLVED!
