Diskeeper Vs Xp Defrag

[skelley521]

Althou shelly i havnt tried v6 i switch over from v5....i may give it a try. 

Yeah, I didnt care for v5 either.
I did a smart defrag with v6 and then did a boot defrag then tested the file system by starting 10-15 programs at once and even threw in an avi. Then sat back and watched.
Its also a good idea to check to see if you have a dirty HD.
Goto your local disk properties--Tools--Error checking--check now.
It will lock the HD for a boot scan on your next restart and let you know if it contains any errors. You will need to watch as the splash screen with the report will disappear somewhat quickly and the system will reboot.

you noticed that too eh?
thats some BS, cause the error checking for me is a set 'n forget deal
(cause it takes so feckin long)
havent checked to see if you can view it in the system log,
but shouldnt have to, the report should stay its ass there til you say otherwise

Yeah shelly one thing i always forget to do regular is check my drives.About the only time i ever use chkdsk is if i get an unmountable drive error on bootup.Apart from that never.
