    why is it that when i had FAT32
    defrags lasted around 3-4 hours at the most

    now when i defrag my NTFS
    it takes about 1 day or 2

    wen i changed from FAT32 to NTFS
    i sold my soul to the devil
    i wont get it back

    MTFS is supposedly more efficient anyway, making fragmentation less of a problem, well it still happens but it doesn't hurt performance as much

    Its made by the same people Exceutive Software. But diskeeper has more options and is faster.Set priority to high then setup up forget it screen saver mode .This program gets faster every time you use it
