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.

I totally agree with Rick. Vista defrags automatically, without you doing
anything about it.

Forget about defragging, and use your computer for something useful.

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.

Hello,
Just leave it alone. 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.

I would not recommend using Auslogics with Vista. 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.
