RoyalShrubber Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I don't know which tool to take and I thought you could give some recommendations... So write down what u use, testimonials, special features that prog use, etc. Umm, does there exist progs that monitor which files were loaded and in which order when starting up windows, and then defrag on that basis?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLion Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 LOL they all work, its just how much mustard and mayonnaise and relish you want with your defrag Pick one and enjoy it. I aint like there is a patent on defragging, all you want/need is your files in order...just a defragger, aint that deep a pool, dont go wading off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuaki Shimazaki Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Both Diskeeper and PerfectDisk have trial versions anyway. Boot-time defrag eventually sold me on Diskeeper, and I think Diskeeper was a bit lighter than PD, but then maybe I just had some money when I tried Diskeeper and that may have been the true factor..., but go ahead and try both. Besides, as a BTer, if you really don't want to pay for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Raxco Perfectdisk can do boot-time defrags (for the paging file and system files), the rest can be done "online". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdr Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Are any of those boot-up disj defrag programs?diskeeper is the answeron the other hand,if you really want to get a functional defragment tool,diskeeper is the one.if you use your hdd in NTFS stream you should configure your mft size (frag shiled) to get optimum performance,diskeeper is doing this.when you install diskeeper,diskeeper is goint to integrate orginal windows defragment and when you call for windows defragment,diskeeper will work instead of it.Also diskeeper has a service and feeding 10-15 mb ram each time you run OS,if you want to make it manual not automatic,you should go to start-run-servcices.msc and find the diskeeper service and you should configure it.

Firon Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 The Windows defragger IS Diskeeper, just a stripped down version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yep. Personally I just schedule defrag to run every month or so. I don't see the need to run it every day or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAbReAkA Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 i have never touched the MFT size or anything.. i have just defragmented.. now when i press Analyze from the windows defragmenter (or defragment..) it doesn't react.. it looks like i haven't pressed that.. i'll install diskeeper and will check the mft.. how should i configure it for optimum performance?

webdr Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 ok first of alli want to infrom you and our members about MFT.Each file on an NTFS volume is represented by a record in a special file called the master file table (MFT)(more infromation visit http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs-mft.htm)there is no special thing that i know to get best performance from diskeeperbut if you dont configure your mft size you cant run diskeeper either in futureto configure MFT configure diskeeper--->diskeeper configuration properties--->frag shiled (paging file and mft)--->editnow you ll see a screen that inform you about your paging file and MFTif your mft is full then diskeeper ll ask you to configure MFT for driveyou can choose MFT's number of file or diskeeper can do it for youthat is itafter unisntall diskeeper and you can use windows def. safely and no erroras i said before there is no special thing to get best performancejust defrag it : )on the other hand if you want to get maximum performance from diskeeper i think you should make a schedule.
