Vista defrag SUCKS
Greetings from "old" Europe!
You'll be better off with auslogics defrag http://www.auslogics.com/en/software...efrag/download . It's free, works fast, AnD with the little colored squares like in the good ol' times. You can also select the drives to defrag. Nice, isn't it? JL "DeltaTangoUnion7" a écrit dans le message de news  There was an obvious lack of customer feedback when this new defrag process was implemented. The new process is clearly lacking. I also find it strange that after running a defrag (taking me over 8 hours) that when I run a secondary application for defragmentation that it shows that the hard drive is 29%+ defragmened. Also, how come you can no longer defrag external drives? Is this a hint that Microsoft has a defragmentation tool in the works? I hope that they get the message and send out a fix for this major issue that is impacting many users. -- Hopefully useful!

Vista defrag SUCKS
I am running Vista Business 64 and it seems that Vista runs defrag by itself
when the computer is idle because my fragmentation level measured using other programs was 0% and that was on 3 seperate 500G drives with around 700G of data spread accross them.

Vista defrag SUCKS
Hi I'm new here so please pardon me if I don't foolow the right protocol in posting. :-) My question is what happens if I cancel a defrag in vista midway through? When it's running in the background and also if I'm running it manually? I don't leave my computer on unless I'm on it (what with power surges and stuff..) and with the vista defragmenter I can never know how much longer it'll keep going So if I cancel midway defrag before it says it is finished or power off the computer not knowing it is running in the background, does it damage the HDD or mean corrupted files? -- anuradhasarup ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anuradhasarup's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/anuradhasarup.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...nce/671342.htm http://forums.techarena.in

It's ok to cancel before it is finished, OTOH power off is bad idea. Actually, if you shut down Windows normally, defrag should write down correctly all information. Anyway it's better firstly to cancel, then shut down. -- Andrew Rybenkov Opera 9.27.8841 ROCKS on WindowsME, and Vista-32 SP1

Vista defrag SUCKS
If Vista is always defragging, Is there anyway of stopping background defrag? I'm getting freezes everyday, HP & MS can't fix it. I'm not talking scheduled. Or maybe I misunderstood. -- palm32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ palm32's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/palm32.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...nce/671342.htm http://forums.techarena.in

news  If Vista is always defragging, Is there anyway of stopping background defrag? I'm getting freezes everyday, HP & MS can't fix it. I'm not talking scheduled. Or maybe I misunderstood. It defrags during machine idle, same as indexing... shouldn't cause freezes... -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s)
