I was wondering what the best program is to defragment with I heard the windows one is bad but I don't know were to find any other ones or if there good or not or if they are free.

Diskeeper is very good. It has a free version which is manual-only (check my website for a link), or you could always acquire the automated full version

you heard? If you don't know then leave it alone till you do some personal research. Some of those defragmenter programs are pure evil.

What OS are you running??!

With 98/98SE diskeeper doesnt preform a disk error check so I would recommend using scan disk to check for errors before using diskeeper.
For 98/98SE OS's I would recommend the defrag from windows ME. It works with 98/98SE machines and is 4X faster than 98/98SE. You can find it at bootdisk.com.

For NT/XP machines I recommend Perfect Disk 6 by Raxco, Its the best in my opinion.

Hope this helps,
Steve

Lamsey, thank you for those links you posted. Quick qestion, please. I'm still in learning mode for alot of stuff here.
When I popped into that Invision site freeware forum, my new toy PeerGuardian racked up a mess of MPAA closures. I only noted this cause it's been so quiet today till I headed your way. It showed:
Connection forcefully closed on: 195.20.32.86 - MPAA?
Connection forcefully closed on: 195.20.32.83 - MPAA?
many, many times. I hopped in and out just to see if it wasn't my imagination.
Since PG has a question mark following that entry...you think maybe that was a bad submission to them?
I can't imagine MPAA hosting a freeware forum. Figured they'd be training virtual bloodhounds to track instead. ;)
