Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
Default windows defragmenter is slow and resource hug. Diskeeper is very popular defragmenter. But it is a paid version. You can download 30 day trail pack from here. Diskeeper 2007
After that what? No problems, here is a link for free Download of Auslogics disk defragmenter. It is a popular one and totally free!
Auslogics Disk Defrag 1.0.3

no matter what tool u use to do a proper defrag in FAT file system it will take a lot of time...
if u r in Windows 2000 or XP or Vista ... make sure u r in NTFS file system... here it will take a lot less with Windows Default tool...

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
NTFS is definately faster and you also get added security fetures.
Using the default windows defrag tool I can defrag my 80gb NTFS drive in bout 15~20 mins but earlier [when it was in the FAT file system] it used to take roughly 1.5~2hrs.

that sums it up...
also one more thing... If u defrag a Drive with 0 files in it... it will be faster... but while u r defraging a drive with 90% full... well it will take more....

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
Raxco's PerfectDisk is the best defrag software out there, but it's a paid software. Give it a try.
If you're looking for a free option only, then stick to the defrag utility that comes by default in win xp, it's also okay.

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
@piyush619, what does Tune-Up Utilites has to do with Defragmentation.
it has only "Registry Defragmenter" & not file defragmenter.

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
defragging in safe mode with the windows defragger can also reduce time...

5 minutes is too low to believe! May I know the frequency of defragmentation? How often you do it?
I doubt that Defragmentation is not 100% successful.

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
I use defrag in XP and it takes only 2-4 minutes. May be because I do it frequently. I also occasionally use Sys Mechanic for the same purpose.

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
@ax3, it depends on the way you use your PC.
If you do lot of Video Editing, Game Modding, Creation/copying of Files..., then you may have to Defragment Frequently.
Just stick to what The DEFAULT MS Defragmenter advices, whether the drive needs Defragmentation. (for this select the drive & press "Analyze")

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
I use a single sw to look after all my system probs... The System Mechanic
One stop solution for all disk utilities... It has an excellent disk defragmenter too.
Ya... it costs 50$

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
well use any deragger (i prefer and user disk keeper)
but do one thing before defragging.
dissable hibernation before defragging and enable it after defraging completes
reason > The Hiberfil.sys file, which can be very large, is a special system file that Disk Defragmenter cannot defragment. Therefore, the presence of the Hiberfil.sys file will prevent Disk Defragmenter from performing a thorough defragmenting operation.

Use Diskeeper 2007. It can defragment comfortably in any condition. It's real-time defragmenter is awesome! Unarguebly, the best one I have ever seen. Just install it and forget it, rest of the things diskeeper does it automatically!

Re: Disk defragmentation ! ! !
From my personal experience i would recomend pepole not to go for O&O Defrag. I had very tough time with it because it doesn't defrags ystem mea data file and caused my PC to have a maximum simultaneous space to 500mb and a highly fragmented system. Then I swithced to perfect isk and it fixed the problem
