Does it take more than three days to defrag a 4 GB drive?

Nah. I have a 40GB hard drive and it usually takes overnight (7 to 8 hours) to run through.

No... not even if you have a ton of stuff on it... unless it's a REALLY slow machine.

Mind, if it was scandisk... who knows... Scandisk has the propensity to run really slowly iffn when it feels like it.

I used to have trouble defragging my hard drive until I discovered that every time the screen saver activated, the extra activity on the drive made the defrag start over again.

If it's not that, 'fraid I can't help you.

It depends on how hard you hit it with the sledgehammer in the first place.
