Ntfs Defregging

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

what deffager r u using?? u should try something like speed disk on norton utilities ;) try it and c if it helps

I like Disk Keeper.

No defraging needed in linux btw B)

Ya with diskeeper takes me 20 seconds on xp { NTSF} with a 6ogb hd.You can set screen saver mode aswell. Boot defrag too.

Good Luck

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

Strange, on xp .. 60gb hard drive .... defragmenting using the built in windows app only takes about 10mins ...

OMG

i got Diskeeper
and its running thro my 81% fragmented hard drive
like a hot knife into butter

at the rate its running right now
it will be done within 30min (i have a slow ass HDD)

diskeeper gets my seal of quality

thanx all who tried to help :smilie4:
especially LSA ;)

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 :)
