Executive Software's Diskeeper 7.
It has automated features so that it will defrag at night every day if you want it to, thus keeping fragmentation at a minimum while not wasting your time.
Plenty of sources on KaZaA - just search.
btw this should be in softwareworld...
eh the defrag programs that come w/ the computer dont work i mean the ones that come right out of the windows cd.... well at least it doesnt work for me... o well lol
scan disk is always helpful
I have several defrag progs. My fav is PerfectDisk by Raxco. Takes less than 10 mins on my sys.
perfectdisk is a defrag prog?Quote:

Yes & one of the best also.
aite then i will do a search for it in kazaa ....
Executive Software's Diskeeper 7. period.
It is very good i like it the most because it is so fast i noticed it is the faster then shitty ass norton speed disk. Also it can give another fast report on how defragged your hd is.

gonna download both lol
it real dependes on what kind of defrag u want to do
PerfectDisk by Raxco just defrags the files in place and dose no sorting at all (this is the same as nortons speed disk with the dfrag files only option)
Executive Software's Diskeeper 7 will do a little more and will defrag the files and move them to the front of the disk pluse a few other things(this is like speed disk with the defrag free space and the defrag files opton) this takes a little longer to do then a strait defrag of files. but is much better as it wont leve spaces between the files and this will mean that when u dl more files they wont fragment as much
nortons speed disk will do an intelegent defrag pluse all of the that the others do.
an intelegent defrag is where it sorts the files bye how often u use them and how often u change them and such it will move the files that u use most often and wil move the swap file to the start of disk it will put files that are not changed next and files that are changed next and so on and so on it will put file u havent used in a long time at the end of the disk this takes the longest to do but it helps with bth the space between fils prob and also it helps with disk access time cus it move the files u use the most to the start of the drave the disk can access them faster the thing that takes the most time in hard drave access are the time it thkes to move the head over the right track on the hd the farther it has to move on the disk the longer the access time so if the info it needs is at the start it wont have to move the head as far
IMHO norton dose it all so get that i use the full defrag for my c partishion so i get quick access to apps and i use the the defrag files only option for my drives that just have movies or mps and install files on them(storage drive) as its much faster then the full option
note if u take care of ur dls u wont have to defrag vary often
ei. i dl too my c drive and as soon as they are done i move thm to the d drive the pross of moving them to the d drive will automaticly defrag the file (if the drive is not fragmented to begin with )as it will right the file right in a row on the drive
and nothing fragment a drive like kazaa dose this is becouse of the multi file multi sorces nature of the program the only thig that rivals kazaa for fragmenting a disk is a compacting data base funsion in some programs like forte agent and such
Is the Executive Diskeeper 7.0 still an evaluation?
seconed.
... Meaning...
i've dled it but i havent tried it
