I'm trying to consolidate my system partition volume by running defrag in a command prompt in command line recovery mode.
This is the command I'm trying to have executed: defrag C: /X /H /U
After I enter the command above all I can see is:
Microsoft Disk Defragmenter
Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corp.
and the line is ready to take new commands. No reports, no time used to execute the operation.
Am I doing something wrong? Is the operation executing in the background?

should correspond to a CD/DVD drive. Correct if I'm wrong. Which steps did you follow to run thedefrag
utility, exactly? Do you get the same issue if you trydefrag D: /X /H /U
instead? – and31415 Aug 3 '14 at 14:27
