Disk Defragmentors

Anyone Looking for Diskeeper Workstation v7.0.428 Second Edtion Retail

PM ME

Great Defragmentation utility, Yes I have used Norton's SpeedDisk as well as O & O Defragmenter. But Overall I am satisfied with Diskeeper, it gives me results. XP Home/PRO OS defragmenter IS Diskeeper Lite. Enuff Said. The Full Version is like on Steroids. First Defrag takes time, Subsequent Defrags are a BREEZE

Use it, , you don't like go back to the original, it's that easy

SeattlePC were you speaking figuratively about Diskeeper Lite and those other progs?

N?MO, where did you find your copy?
I keep getting no files found when I search for Diskeeper Lite.

AND: What is/are the difference(s) in the 2 editions, workstation and server?


Thanks in advance for all your help.

i d/l diskeeper lite from download.com - tried it, seems to not really make things much faster, probably because my hard disk doesn't fragment much
one thing i did notice though was that it makes a evil thrashing noise, like it was eating my hard drive, so i got rid of it

Disk Keeper is cool. Only problem is I cant do anything else with the system while its running. A system that hadn't been defragged for 6 months took 2 and half hours to defrag. Any one else have these problems?

M8 U can set the level of priority of diskeep while runnin' in the
action menu at the top...the amount of time to defrag really depends on the size of ur drive and specs.

Very basically put, Diskeeper is a defragmentation tool

Diskeeper Lite is built-in as the default defragmentor for Windows XP Home and Pro (It was free, and called "Lite" for a reason)

The Improved and Better version is any other Diskeeper, get it?

Server: Used in Business settings to defrag more than 1 PC
(Windows NT/2000/XP)

Workstation:Used in Home Or Business for only 1 PC
(Windows 95/98/Me/XP)

This Program costs about $29.00 US if you bought it from the company

The Latest version out as of 5/21/03 is Diskeeper Version 7 Build 428

PM me, and I will send you a link to download a full, retail copy about 12mbs

IF you want to know more info, use GOOGLE and type EXECUTIVE SOFTWARE
(the company that makes diskeeper)

I'm pretty much sold on diskeeper, but I'm concerned about it's effect on the rest of my system.

Thanks Darth, I'm skipping the 'lite' version.

Are there complete instructions to prevent it taking over my system?
Is it easy to change the settings?
Heck! Does it have to be set to run in the background, or can it be programmed to run at timed intervals, like the windows defragger?
Can I prevent it from becoming the 'default' defrag program?

I'm not worried about time coz I do a defrag and scan, every 2 weeks. And I know these are a lot of questions, but you have one nervous female here, who doesn't want to lose 'control' of her machine.

Raxco PerfectDisk is the best. I also use O&O Defrag Pro every 2-4 months for their complete access defrag which is the most thorough defrag IMO but takes hours.

I use Power Defrag by E-Technik.You can check them out at http://www.powerdefrag.com. It's better than the xp one(but then again isn't everything)but against the others I don't know.I will leave that for the more technically minded.

i was gonna try Raxco and O&O but neither support ME
