I may be flamed "for not using the search" on this one, but I did. I
didn't scour, as I'm about to go to sleep, but I did notice the mention
of Auslogics quite a few times. That's my current defragger, as the
default defragger in Vista, I'd say, is pathetic. My question, though,
is: Is there anything else? What is the best way to defragment Vista? I
don't know if it's a juvenile idea, but in XP, I was always comfortable
using the defragmenting tool the OS came with because.. it was for XP,
and it worked. You saw the progress. As for Vista's, it shows nothing,
there's no visual progress, and every time I use it, it stays on for
days on end if I do not end it myself. Auslogics seems to work alright,
I see the progress, but I can't verify it's potency and power myself.
Plus, I didn't pay. Seems to good to be true. Can someone point me in
the right direction, or correct me if need be? Thank you for your time.

I cannot recommend Raxco's PerfectDisk highly enough. Has 30 day trial
so you can try it.

I have been using O & O defrag for over a year. It beats all others on the
market but it is not free except for the first 30 days. Try it you will not
be disappointed.

IIRC this does not preserve the prefetch optimisations that Vista
does. Only PerfectDisk does that and it's configurable too!
