Ouchem.... It was... what does that mean?

 

you moved files to another location so your files are broken :)

 

You killed its lifespan by tenfold. 

 

Nah thats not true he only fucked up his file system he needs to do a clean install to make it the same again.

So I decided to defragment my C drive.

Now when i start my computer, nothing works. I can move my mouse and thats all. Taskbar is a constant loading icon. And desktop icons don't react to anything. 

I can't do anything anything at all...

Not really. Maybe an OS reinstall will work.

Just for future reference there is no point defragging an ssd. In the days (well we are still here so yeah) of HDD's it would physically move the data on one point of the disks inside to a new point to reduce loading times, so the header doesnt have to go to 5 different locations for the data, its all together, when i say physically move it, i mean on the magnetic platers, it does not effect your folder structure. however this irrelevant on ssd's as it does not matter physically where there data is, as there is no moving parts, so there is no waiting time for the "head" to get to the next chunk of data.

if you want to fix this, figure out the algorithm that the defrag tools uses for optimizing data storage, reverse engineer and then rerun.

or maybe i have gone to far.....

Oh thanks for all the info guys.

To get some more of you to facepalm, I did it on both my computers at the same time... But at least my main one still works perfectly.

Phew. Good to know. At least I did not have any important files on that drive.
