Defragmentation Help

[Loobeloo]

Every time I try to defragment, I set it running, leave my PC for about an hour, come back and nothing has happened.

Any Help,

I am running XP Home Edition. Instead of the Windows built in defragment software, are there any other free ones? I have heard of some.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have installed Defraggler and it has worked brilliantly. Thanks.

Hi -

I use the same one that yardbird has mentioned (also on my XP) -

My M/soft inbuilt has had a corrupted file for about a year , and this is the best free Defrag tool I have found -

Along with the other tools at Piriform -

Not only that, the in-built defragment tool is not reliable and may cause your PC to no longer boot up again (unless you as an experienced user will type a special command in CMD)

As it fragments / defragments a key windows file.

windows defrag tool needs 15% free space to work,less than that and it wont.

ok its not the best tool in the world,that i deff agree with.

however i understand that its defraging a windows key thats said its never caused my comp not to boot. there has to be somthing else wrong for the defrag to to that.just doesnt add up that defraging a key that has no problems will cause a boot problem.
