XPerties Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 You guys talking about defraging in 7 min or 2 min or 1 min...got dam how small are your drives? takes me hours-XPerties
Big Booger Posted January 27, 2002 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.
Conan Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 I've got 2 20gig drives, one 7200rpm, one 5400rpm.
Aaron Posted January 27, 2002 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 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]
Big Booger Posted January 27, 2002 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
Conan Posted January 27, 2002 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?
Big Booger Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Conan, you are a friend indeed when a friends in need. Thanks manBig Booger

Is that a retail version or trial version of Diskeeper?
Aaron Posted January 28, 2002 Posted January 28, 2002 Its 100% retail copy, no cracking of files required.
Conan Posted January 28, 2002 Posted January 28, 2002 Hey AaronXP, the link results in a "page cannot be displayed", I don't know if it's gone or my internet connection is faulty, can you try it out?Update: I've tried to download other programs from that site, they all result in the same thing.
