mmanya Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Norton System Works - Speed Disk great optimizer too ;) Also Power Defrag is a good one & if you click on downloads, there is a free version.*this program works with your Windows defrag. - making the one you have work better.

Guest Nellie2 Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thanks everyone for the information...defragging is something that I have never really thought about before, just used to do it on a regular basis then forget about it. It was only when I ran my tests at the Pitstop that I realised there was perhaps a bit more to it than I thought!!! So not only does your defragging need to be regular but effective as well! Something to bear in mind folks! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 using windows xp i have no problems with defragmenting :P ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 I've got XP as well but I still use Diskeeper as it's the up market version of the Windows defragger. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nellie2 Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 well I defragged AGAIN!!! and madboy you were right........the defragging was a lot faster using that program.....nifty!!! :D But, I ran my pitstop test again and 30% of my data still needs to be tidied up...Grrrrr! So I will try disk keeper lite next. I am afraid if I can get it for free then I will go down that route first!! :) Thanks for your input everyone!!

madboy33 Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hold on folksA defragmenter is a defragmenter is a defragmenter!I looked at Nellies PCPITSTOP results and see she has some different cluster sizes on her HDD in her partitionsThis could be the cause of it.i would not worry to much nelliep.s Nellie it is the windows ME defragmenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Yes......funny you should say that Madboy, someone at the Pitstop mentioned my cluster size!!! Said he wondered why I had set mine to 4kb when it defaulted to 16kb........ :huh: To be honest I don't think I have ever set a cluster size in my life!!!Anyway, the PC is working fine so I am not too bothered but I will be sure to check my sizes next time I reformat or reload windows or whatever. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 The only application software I have ever paid for was Ontrack's utility suite SystemSuite 4.0 (only paid because one copy of it was was seriously mispriced in PC World ! - only £14.99 :o ) That has their JetDefrag in - which I do find excellent.
