I'm installing auslogics in my laptop to run it with wine. When I try to defrag disk or flash disk, it says

unable to access the drive. try rebooting and running defragmentation again

How can I configure wine to allow this program to access hard disk or flash drive?

    Just to make it clear, are you trying to run Auslogics on Ubuntu? Defragmentation, anti-virus, boost? Issue could be that auslogic actually plays with windows registry which doesn’t exist on Ubuntu. Could you be more specific what are you doing or planing to do with auslogics? – danijelc Feb 06 '14 at 12:50

  • yap it wont work through Wine, Windows is one thing wine is something different. I frankly don’t see how to use auslogics to defrag thumb drive on Ubuntu. – danijelc Feb 06 '14 at 13:38

I'd have to agree with danijelc's comment and expand on it: auslogics can't work through Wine. This sort of system utility is designed to fix Windows. Wine isn't the same thing.

  • No direct access to filesystems to defragment them (Wine abstracts everything)
  • Even if you could con it into scanning a raw disk, Auslogics probably won't understand the filesystems you try to pass it
  • Registry access will only give you access to a Wine registry which shouldn't be too bad anyway. If it is that clogged up, consider starting a clean prefix.

  • ahh thankyou for explaining to me. is there any program on ubuntu can defrag my flashdisk?or using terminal to defrag it? – DeathStroke Feb 06 '14 at 13:07
  • You will need to do it with Windows. – comrademike Feb 06 '14 at 13:10
  • @user245288 shake might work but I'm not sure I'd worry about fragmentation on a flash drive as the random seek speed is so fast. Fragmentation affects spinning disks because the read head has to physically move to a new location. – Oli Feb 06 '14 at 13:28
  • ahhh i see so if i use shake, i still can't defrag my flash disk? maybe im going to double boot in my laptop. thanks guys for answering my question :D – DeathStroke Feb 06 '14 at 13:50
