    Hey im using defraggler on a laptop running win 7 home premium 64bit, when i do the defrag theres 5 files i cant defrag or find on the hdd. I did a defrag and it got all the other files, i did another defrag hoping itd get the others but it went from 16gb to 18.5gb fragmented!?! Ive attached some screen shots about it, any help is greatly appreciated.

    From the screenshots, what's not being defragged is the System Volume Information folder which is used to keep System Restore Points.

    In Defraggler, go to Settings -> Options -> Advanced Tab and click on the Define button. Uncheck Exclude restore point file (see attached).
