Defrag is a never ending, low priority process. Stop worrying about it and
just use the computer. Also, only use one program, either the native one or one of your choosing as they have differing optimization schemes and will work against each other. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "disk defrag running 16 hours still" disk defrag running 16 hours wrote in message ...

I totally agree with Rick. Vista defrags automatically, without you doing
anything about it. Forget about defragging, and use your computer for something useful. STeveT |

ran auslogic love it,, but after the $$$ i spent on my computer i want everything to work right. 16 hours and it was still defragging drive c. rann all the diag everything was fine. any ideas out there As Rick said, it's important to use only one defragger because each one arranges files differently on the disk. If you run more then one all you do is move the files around and wear out your hard disk. Whether or not there is a problem with the built-in defragger still going after 16 hours is hard to say since there's no disk map to view progress. I suggest if you like the Auslogic defragger use it and be happy. I use Raxco's PerfectDisk and it is far better then the built-in defrag IMHO. |

Vista defrag works in the background continuously. There is nothing for you to worry about. It does not impede on your using of the computer. Right ? Enjoy the Auslogic. I have one too. -- t-4-2 |

It's not a good defragmenter and has in many ways is a step backward. With Vista or WHS, it's better to use a defragmenter that can work around/with the Volume snapshot service (VSS), and none of the free defraggers do that. I use an automatic defragmenter (third party, and better than Vista's own) that defragments in the background as required. Unlike Vista's it does not require to be scheduled, and automatically cleans up fragmentation as it occurs. I don't need to concern myself with defragging any more. -- Benjamin |
