Slow NW-A1000/NW-A1200/NW-A3000? Defragging will help.

Since the last firmware upgrade my NW-A3000 (NWA3000) player has been working perfectly with SonicStage CP, except for one thing - navigating through the menus on the NW-A3000 suddenly became very slow.

Looking around in various places online I saw a suggested fix - to defragment the hard drive inside the NW-A3000. I tried it and it really works.

Here's how you can do it yourself:

• Connect your NW-A3000 to your computer using the supplied cable.
• Open Windows Explorer (Start/All Programs/Accessories/Windows Explorer
• Open the My Computer section in the file tree and right click on the 'removable drive' symbol for the NW-A3000.
• Select 'Properties'
• A window opens - Select Tools tab
• Click 'Defragment Now' button
• Disk Defragmenter opens - Click 'Defragment button.
• Wait until defragmentation is complete.
• Disconnect NW-A3000 from computer.
• DONE!

Note that this even speeds up the player if Disk Defragmenter tells you that you had 0% fragmentation.

I saw this tips on another forum, but the users said they had better results defragging with Diskeeper !?

Hi Supersky - It works fine for me with the standard (free) Disk Defragmenter so I would recommend trying it first before purchasing Diskeeper.
