slow...doesn't use good techniques all it does is unfragment the files whille others will optimize where they are stored for faster opening\better organization.

and crono said it always freezes.

While I use diskeeper , you might want to shut down programs running in the back ground .The boot defrag seems to work wonders the first few times aswell.

if i don&#39;t defrag for a week it still only takes 20mins to defrag. windows seems to optimize as far as i can tell. and as for the freezing...that usually means a format is needed. that&#39;s what i do, but by the time mine freezes other things r usually f&#39;ed up be4 hand. so a format is welcome.

there are some section, though, that windows defrag won&#39;t bother with...like your boot sector.
I used to use an Ontrack defrag, and it would organize your files on your drive by modification frequency, etc.
pretty good...I just can&#39;t be bothered to install/use it anymore

"DisKeeper" is best

[tracydani]

I use Diskeeper as well. Once you install and set up, just leave it in the background and never think about it again
