| 642173 | 2008-02-20 09:13:00 | anyone know what is the best defragmenting software available for vista home basic? thanks.. | jonkimnicko (10061) | ||
| 642174 | 2008-02-20 09:31:00 | I use Auslogics. Works well for me. Way better than the built in cr4p. There's a registry defrag there too. Not sure how much it does, but I run that occasionally too. Might as well. | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
| 642175 | 2008-02-20 09:46:00 | I also use Auslogics (www.auslogics.com), seems to be a bit faster. Here are a couple of defraggers (www.snapfiles.com)with ratings and reviews... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 642177 | 2008-02-20 10:02:00 | Yep Auslogics Defragger is pretty quick, only takes 50 minutes to defrag my 250GB hard drive. :D | jason_f90 (3544) | ||

| 642179 | 2008-02-20 11:10:00 | Defragmentation is a waste of time on any modern filesystem. Fragmentation was a problem in FAT for small drives but should have no noticeable effect on any modern system. Furthermore unless your defragmentation program uses only atomic actions (and is slow as a result) it may corrupt your disk if the power fails part-way through. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
| 642180 | 2008-02-20 18:33:00 | O&O is the best. As for the comment by someone that defragging is a waste of time, bollicks! |

| 642181 | 2008-02-20 18:56:00 | This is an interesting one because I have read elsewhere that with a modern HDD and a NTFS file system there will be little or no noticeable difference to the speed of the computer whether the HDD is fragmented or not . :confused: As I recall the article said that the Fragmentation of the Page File could be a problem, but even then you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if that was fragmented or not either . As I recall the Article said that to Defrag the Page File turn it off, reboot and turn it back on again . Apparently most Defrag programmes don’t touch the page file? :confused: I look forward to further discussion on the matter . :) |

| 642182 | 2008-02-20 19:19:00 | I've never had to turn the page file on or off . With any program Ive used for defragging . Altho with O&O, youve got the choice of doing it in Windows, or it'll defrag before it boots into Windows . |
