Hi. I just tried to defrag my harddrive. It worked with Drive C, but when I try to defrag Drive D (physical Disk) then I get an errormessage, saying there isn't engough RAM to defrag the drive.
I got 640 MB RAM, Win98. On Dirve C the biggest file was 450 Megs, where on Drive D some files are about 1.5 Gigabyte. So I think maybe it has something to do with the file-size: could it be win98 is unable to defrag a drive when there are files that are bigger than the RAM? Virtual Memory is already set to be handled by Windows, with no max.
How could i fix this? I mean, without to replace the OS.
Thanks.
EDIT: an additional note: I am shocked, I have just seen I got some files on drive D that are bigger than 2 Gigabyte, how can this be?!?!?
The files have been created by MAGIX Video Deluxe, some Avis (some in "windows\temp" and some created by importing MiniDV Video over firewire):

Though the limit is 2 Gigabyte in Win98. Maybe Magix installed some kind of patch? I guess the 4 Gigs file must be created when I made a DVD using MAGIX some time ago. Althoug the DVD uses splitted VOB files, each one not bigger than 2 Gigs, MAGIX seems to write a temporary Avi, made of parts that are up to 4 Gigs.
