That depends on how long ago was it last defragmented. And what software you use as a defragmenter.
It'll depend partially on how long it's been since the last time you did it.... the more often you defrag - generally the less time it will take. http://www.piczonline.com/client/titey/thmbup.gif

My C: drive takes about 15-20 seconds using Diskeeper.
Well I asked cuzz I started Defraging with system mechanice about 4 hours ago and its still not done. The last time I defraged was last monday.
"system mechanic" << this would be your problem. It's making a mess and moving things where they don't belong. Breaking things up into sections instead of keeping everything close together like it's supposed to be.
It takes a while to f**k up a drive this way.
What program would you recommend?
?
I wouldn't. There's no need to mess with things if the system is properly maintained. If there's something that won't defrag, then there are other methods that will work or repairs are needed.
That's a long time. Well I use the defragmenter that comes with Windows. I've had no problems with it. Have you been moving/deleting huge chunks of data frequently?Quote:
