Big Booger Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Same boat here, As stated before59.5 hours for defrag in windows 98se, And 6-8 hours in XP with 60 GIGS of data stored!Big BoogerI am going to give diskeeper 7 a go, and see what the results are.

Aaron Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 heh, a lot of you are confused with how long its taking to defrag XP in minutes/hours.I've done a lot of tests in the past.... using a big 30gb hard drive:Windows 98 FAT32 - Using standard defrag it takes [b:5ba598f1b8]4 - 6[/b:5ba598f1b8] hoursBut with Diskeeper 5 or 6 (whatever I had at the time) It took about [b:5ba598f1b8]10 - 15[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins on its first run, then took only [b:5ba598f1b8]5[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins every other time I ran diskeeper.Win2K / XP - FAT32 - Using Standard defrag, diskeeper 7, norton speed disk, or O&O - It is always slow, no matter what. Takes at least [b:5ba598f1b8]3[/b:5ba598f1b8] hours to finish.Win2k / XP - NTFS - Using standard defrag - took about [b:5ba598f1b8]30[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins. But using Diskeeper 7 I can defrag in [b:5ba598f1b8]2-3[/b:5ba598f1b8] mins, and its scheduled to defrag every 48 hours in the overnight period when I'm asleep. What better could I get? Using Diskeeper 7 on an NTFS file system is the best you can get!And besides, is best for Win2k or XP to run on its own native file system - NTFS. Its self repairing and speedy on 30+ GB drives too.

zErO Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 AaronXP - Yeh I use Diskeeper 6 it kicks a** over the standard defrag toolsYou guys talking about defraging in 7 min or 2 min or 1 min...got dam how small are your drives? takes me hours-XPerties [/quote:566424f1f2][b:566424f1f2]XPerties - thats because u have more hard drive space then the Techs at M$......lol[/b:566424f1f2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 I have one 80 gig and one 15 gig on another PC. I am seriously getting that diskeeper asap as I want to try this crap out for myself and be the big cheese supreme, knowing if it works visually often helps more than verbal hoopla. Anywayz I will post on this matter tomorrow as soon as I try this diskeeper out. One other question, are you guys defragging full drives? Or are they partial. I was talking about defraging 60 gigs of my 80. It takes a s***load of time in 98, and not so big of a s***load in XP using NTFS.Just a comment and a question.Your local technical representative,Big Booger #219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Just make sure that the version of Diskeeper that you're going to get is 7.0398. The earlier versions are beta. I suppose I don't have to point you where to get it? Or do I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
