I'm not sure this will work, but here goes. My Home Pre. will not even
open Disk Defragment. but you can do this from the Command Prompt. So,
Start | Command Prompt | type: defrag /? | enter. And, you can make your
choice from there. Ain't I slick.

Why is it that I can't see that it's working? I'd rather be able to
see it
running than hope it gets finished - and it never seems to. JMHO

Vista defrag works in the background when nothing else is happening.
It
will not show what it has done/is doing. It just does it..

Defrag never really finishes because files are being manipulated
constantly
by the user. This can be seen by the fact that, having defragged one
time,
going back to defrag a week later shows that fragmenting has occurred
yet
again.

So, rather than have the user decide on a defrag routine, Vista does
it all
in the background, requiring no intervention from the user. In this
way, the
hard drive is kept in good condition constantly instead of every now
and
again when the user decides that performance is being affected by
fragmentation.
