Defragmentation after several years

jaster · Oct 25, 2006

We'll see...

Presumably you meant to say wouldnt.

The speed at which the HD seeks has everything to do with whether you
will even notice a few more fragments than the minimum possible. In
spades when modern OSs are moving the heads around for other reasons in
the time it takes to get from one end of large file to the other.

He did however say that the system is 3 years old, so its unlikely to
be other than FAT32 or NTFS.

Doesnt matter in fact, MS got their act into gear on using free space
better to minimise fragmentation long before that.

Still pointless defragging when you cant even pick the difference in a
proper double blind trial.

It isnt, no linux bothers with it. The MS OSs include it because some
pig ignorant fools would howl about it if it was deleted and its easier
to just keep it.

Duh. And that means not bothering to defrag when you cant even pick
whether the system has been defragged, stupid.

You aint established that his system actually has a fragmentation
problem.

How odd that he didnt in the last more than 3 years.

He's only asking about it now because he's fallen over defragging.

Or he can consider the arguments for why defragging isnt necessary
anymore and decide that it isnt worth bothering with when he obviously
managed fine without it in more than 3 years.

Not a shred of rocket science required whatever.

You quite sure you aint one of those rocket scientist stupids ?

You dont know that.

Not a shred of evidence that you are actually capable of thought.

Let put it so a an idiot can understand.

It is not just about defragging his HD to speed up his PC, it's about
regular maintenance to speed up his PC and remove junk and clutter left
around by WinX OS.

I recommended something like System Mechanic, scheduled to do all of his
maintenance tasks on a regular basis, whether it's weekly or every 4
months, and to back up his data on a regular basis.

For the record I said a full HD was a possible reason his PC took 30min to
boot.

Unless you have useful solutions for OPs then stop being a pest to
others who do offer solutions.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

Irrelevant to what is being discussed, WHETHER THERE
IS ANY POINT IN DEFRAGGING THAT SYSTEM.

And you are just plain wrong there. That cant be the reason for that.

You wouldnt know what a 'solution' was if it bit you on your lard arse, child.

Just as I thought. Lots of criticism of others suggestions and
zero solution from you to the OP, 3 days of worthless tech BS to me
and zippo for the OP.

You're a hardware geek? What is it they call newsgroup critics like
yourself???? Troll!

Still waiting for you to fix the OP problems.

Lying, again. I just rubbed YOUR nose in the FACT that you dont
actually have a clue about his system, or anything else at all either.

and zero solution from you to the OP,

I didnt need to say anything to the OP, plenty of others did that fine.

Unlikely you, I dont bother to repeat what others have said that makes sense.
