Can someone reccomend a good defragger?

[emsley]

I defragged for 4 hours yesterday and it helped - but vistas in built defragger thinks its awesome not to tell you or show you any progress been made, im sure some defraggers can be used on start up to speed things up...

 

Any recommendations?

I recommend O&O Defrag as it automatic once you got it install you don't have to worry about defragging the hard drive, but the problem with the software is that it not free, I think I know what your like when it comes to paid software.

I haven't defragged anything since win98.

Since XP, MS' defrag program has actually done a better job, better than the 3rd party programs I used to use.

 

I use a batch file, set to defrag my drives while I'm at work using Task Scheduler.

 

defrag.exe C: -f
defrag.exe D: -f
defrag.exe E: -f
defrag.exe F: -f
defrag.exe G: -f
defrag.exe H: -f
defrag.exe I: -f
defrag.exe J: -f
defrag.exe K: -f

Well that went over my head cinder -

I un installed bioshock 2 and bad company 2, then deleted the images as well.

Then ran it while i was playing GOW 3 and watching a movie, took another 3 hours...

[Weirdy]

that's over your head?

 

it's just forcing defrag.exe to defrag a certain partition

 

defrag.exe DriveLetter force

[emsley]

I see now.

But how would you make a batch file?

 

Ah it does not matter the dam thing is tuned up now and its getting defragged every other week in future.

[Weirdy]

you'd put it all in a file with a name that has a .bat extension
