Windows XP Disk Defragment

[Belloni]

Hmm been running this since 10AM this morning, yet still not complete on a new HDD?

Using Vista 64-bit ... just keeps running? Is this normal?

I prefer the XP version where you actually see the progress!

Shouldn't take long on a new hdd . I use Diskeeper meself , great little prog .

It can take a bit of time with the default MS one, I'd just leave it on in the background while you're doing something else. I haven't defragged for so long now, so I should really have a (late!) spring clean

Spring clean , me too , just realised that I have the Diskeeper prog but I gorgot to install it again and me drive is in a right old state .

Vista's defrag

LOL and

Vista's defrag never 'finishes' even after running for a day, atleast in my experience.

But i do like automatic defragmentation as implemented in the defragger which I use. It always runs in the background and defrags as necessary automatically during idle, but it takes barely any resources. So no need to schedule a defrag for only when you are cleaning up the room

Ahh fair enough, i normally only ever degfrag and do a full virus check if i am going to watch TV for a while or popping out for a good few hours
