@ Nesivos,
The OP is unable to defrag the H drive as we have attempted this already. The C drive has already been defragged without problems.
@ Saito S,
I do agree that you probably have too much on your H drive, and that moving as much as you can off this drive and either onto USB flash or another HDD or an external HDD or your C drive is your best option.
You can put exe. files (plus other files) on USB flash drives, as I do this to save space, but I would also suggest that you vaccinate your USB’s and machine with Panda USB Vaccine (compatible with Avast). http://research.pandasecurity.com/panda-usb-and-autorun-vaccine/ and it can be run on any drive on your machine for removable devices. You are given the option to “vaccinate” your machine, which means to disable autorun.inf malware from infecting your machine, and you can enable it again (although I wouldn’t). Plus you can “vaccinate” any USB/flash or removable device so that it cannot infect your machine.
[b]Did you ever uninstall Spyboot w/TT? If not, please do so (see my Post #12), and also run MBAM (Malwarebytes) just to be sure we are not dealing with malware; I don’t think we are but I want to make sure. Please cut and paste your MBAM log once completed.
Try moving as much as you can from your H drive to other drives or devices and see what happens (including the video you have on there).
Also check to see how much space you are using for system restore and reset it for the minimum amount needed for your OS to speed things up.
After you do this, run CCleaner, then reboot. Then try to defrag both the C (first) and H drive again. If defragging the H drive takes longer than several hours, stop it, and try the Puran Boot-time defrag: “Restart-Defrag-Restart+Disk Check” and this should only take less than an hour. If you have problems with the boot-time scan, stop it and report back. Thanks.
