Manual Defragmentation Wastes Time

Fragmentation is a situation that affects every computer causing slows,
crashes and rendering systems ineffective. New Operating Systems, like
Windows XP and larger systems have more files, so fragmentation is
actually more of a problem now than it ever has been.

A slow pc destroys a worker's momentum, costing even more in lost
productivity. I need my workers to get their jobs done fast! For the
System Administrator doing a manual defrag on a daily basis requires
time, personnel to do it, shutting down the systems, giving Admin
Privileges on the system to the users so they can do it themselves
(yikes!) And of course, money, because time is money.

All this results in a loss of production and headaches. The problem is
that it doesn't get done and attempts to do it manually result in all
of the above, and in some cases even worse, such as divorces, ruined
families, loss of nights and weekends.
 
And you feel better now that you got that off your chest????
Have you ever heard of "Scheduled Tasks"???
Its an item under Control Panel which you will find if you click the Start
in XP
It works.......use it.......maybe it will save your marriage/family let you
sleep nites and take weekends off
Actually judgeing by your post you seem the Boss type who has a network of
computers and your System Administrator seems to lack the knowledge to
program the system for a 2am defrag.He should have been able to set up each
computer to defrag automaticaly at a slow time(say 2am)....providing the
poor worker is trained to not shut down when he goes home.

What? Are you frickin nuts or something? Divorces, ruined families?
Give me a break you idiot..

The ONLY reason for those headaches and a need to defrag is because
SysAdmins went with Microsoft crap instead of staying with UNIX, or even
OS/2.. And along with the crashes, lost data, and other various MS
glitches, you got virii, worms, trojans, etc. etc. to deal with..
 
Sounds like Osborne has a mental disorder called OCD (Obsessive Compulsive
DIsorder) We all fear for your sanity Osborne so get Professional help ASAP.
 
Osborne sounds like one of those people who get all hot and sweaty when it
comes to the choice of thermal paste to use.
 
Don't use the Defrag tool than came with Windows. It sucks like crap.
I think it makes it even worse.

Purchase Diskeeper and select the smart scheduling for all your HDD and
never worry about a another defrag again.

Get your wife and kids back, sleep tight, and take a good rest.

I'm serious Diskeeper rocks!
 
naturally you have some metric of improved performance such as 20 %
improvement on a 200 col by 10,000 row table search or something similar?

Don't tell me you're using the windows defragmenter ;)

I remember people were so sick of it they made up a fashionable myth
that you don't need to defragment a modern drive.

Or was it... if you defragment a modern drive with windows'
defragmenter it'll overheat from the hours of work and croak. Most
likely the origin of the modern hard disk fans too, now that I think
about it.

I recommend Perfect Disk, myself. If Winblows worked as well as
Perfect Disk, Bill Gates would be president.
