All right, I was trying to play Audiosurf when it said 'game unavailable.' I thought, 'Hmm...defrag time.' and went to defrag the file...WELL, it said it couldn't complete it from my HD being too clustered. So, I go there to 1) Check if some of the memory is missing (Cause I installed Sacred 3 times and lost like 4 gigs in the process.) and 2) Defrag the files. Well, I can not scan the computer for some odd reason since the HD is supposedly in use and I can defrag but it might take awhile...any help here? =)

So wait, you tried using Steam file defrag first, then the standard MS Windows defrag after?
If so, try closing some background applications, like Steam. I'd also recommend you get JK Defrag instead as it's vastly superior to MS defrag and will happily work in the background while you do other things.
Also: make sure you don't have too much booting with Windows by checking msconfig. And get CCleaner to deal with those unnecessary files cluttering things up.

Audiosurf from Steam, right ?
The game unavable might just be a Steam error. Try to restart steam to see if that works.
Also, Steam has it's own way to defrag games' cached files.
Ricth click Audiosurf on steam then choose properties then switch to the 'local files' tab and then click on 'Defragment cache files'.
I'm not sure if you're talking about defraging your HD or the game cached files through Steam...
Edit: Oops, too late. Nevermind.

Downloaded and installed...question.
It says something about don't hibernate...Is that during a defrag or after defragging? I need an explenation.

"Hibernate saves an image of your desktop with all open files and documents, and then it powers down your computer. When you turn on power, your files and documents are open on your desktop exactly as you left them."
Hibernate is primarily meant for laptops to make the batteries last longer.

Are you using a laptop ? Do you have hibernation enabled ?
Anyway, you don't want to go into hibernation while defragging.
If you do have hibernation enabled, disabled it before deffraging and re-enable it after. That's what i would do...

So...no defraggy while hibernating? That is a bad thing right? I'm okay to hibernate AFTER done defragging?

Should be done in about an hour....I'm impressed with MyDefrag. I recovered 26 lost gigs of memory with it!
