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.

"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?Originally posted by Triadcool@28 September 2003 - 20:31
