honestly? almost never. i know i should do it once a month but i never get around to doing it. Last time i defragged my 3 hard drives was at least 3 yrs ago and its still going till now.
Never reformatted on my new computer (~1 year)... I *believe* my HD's are fine, its not like I use kazaa which will infect my computer instantly:lol: BT=safe,clean,fast:)
i find all the fragmented files are usually in the files ive downloaded. :ermm:
wow man...................i use diskeeper and just set it and forget it so that way it defrags when it needs itQuote:

I have 2-400 gig HD's and 1 500gig MyBook and I haven't defreged in about 2 years now and all is well. A little fragmentation is good for the soul I say ;)
I do mine about every 2 weeks or so... Used to do it every week before I got 2 drives installed. I use my secondary HD for all my BT and Newsgroup stuff, so my main drive should not have to be done as often.

Everyday? Dude! :lol:Quote:

I've got Diskeeper set to automatic, so it defrags everyday.
NOD32 does a scan everyday.
I run a registry cleaner and registry compactor every week, or sooner if I'm uninstalling software.
I reformat and reinstall windows every year.
well I am close to lysine
perfectdisk to defrag every other day HDDs and page file on every boot
kaspersky to scan my PC weekly and critical areas & startup objects daily
tuneup utilities weekly (reg cleaner)
reinstall windows every 6 months (on average)
I haven't defragmented mine in like 2 years.
i defrag everyday. i use o&o defrag which is scheduled at 4am every morning while i sleep.
Pc runs too fast, and smooth. Files play much better, and quicker.
i never defrag. also got fed up with the virus checking, so i dont do that either. surprisingly enough, everything works nice and smooth.
12 houers every day
i am defraging once a week but u can use diskeeper like pete moss offered.
works gr8 for me
I use o&o defrag and defrag once per week.
Used to do it often.
Now, maybe once every 3 months or whenever I notice performance degradation - nothing too tech - just general system responsiveness.
I got fed up with AV software, too. But I still defrag just whenever I leave er somethin'.Quote:

Once or twice a week. Everything runs well so I suppose that accounts for it.
i defarg my Hd every month to keep it clean and fast
Yeah Diskeeper is what I use as well, set and forget, that way your hard drive is always neat and tidy.Quote:

I think the best set up is to download to a designated hd
and keep libraries in another
then once a month defrag is cool
I haven't defragged my windows partition since i resized it about 9 months ago. My linux partition hasnt been defragged ever since it doesnt need to be.
I have never noticed a difference between a heavily fragmented drive and a unfragmented drive so why bother with it.
I probable defrag once every 2-3 months!!
since I leave my PC on almost 24/7, i have perfectdisk defrag all drives at 2am every saturday morning
that way when kaspersky does its scan at 4am the next day it breezes through ready for when i get up
Twice a week
once a week
I used to defrag twice a night.
However now that the new version of Diskeeper is out, my computer constantly runs Diskeeper in the background to catch fragments as they happen. So I guess there really isn't a time at which I'm not defragging.
Defrag, then run Tuneup Utilities Registry cleaner, and I guarantee you see a huge speed gain in that poor neglected computer.Quote:

mine defrags every day use O&O defrag use to use diskeeper 10 but prefer O&O now :)
I defragment my hdd ~once per month
Used to be every day but as my poor old machine spends most of it's time encoding at the moment i have to fit in the defrags around that.
i don't remember when but i am sure it's not as often as it should be.
a scheduled defrag is ok when ur pc runs 24/7. it will sure save you crying when logical errors mess up ur hdd.
