Daily + automaticaly defraging it just couldn't handle.Am now trying out the O&O defrager tool, but the one thing that stops me from realy geting to use it is that it is German sw. Experiences of late with several German sw packages(Roxio, Nero etc.), has thought me that these creators do not take the Windows standards + computing standards all that seriously !!!.Check out the comparison pages:-Comparison Chart: O&O Defrag vs. Diskeeper ht*p://www.oosoft.de/english/products/oodfamily/cp-dk.html-O&O Defrag 2000 is Editor's Choice in comparison of defrag toolsht*p://www.oosoft.de/english/reviews/ood2000pro/infoweek_072001.html[O & O Home:ht*p://www.oosoft.de/english/products/ood2000net/ood2000net.htmlht*p://www.ou.edu/tucows/win2k/preview/002-007-005-002C.htmlht*p://www.pnltools.com/For security reason please dont post direct links to other websites, always replace a t with a *.....You gave me a work out on this post...Moderator[/color:f6feab2692] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMS Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 The ME version does work fine....thanks for the tip !!!"Defragment swiftly and safely. Vopt Millennium edition keeps your system running at its best." Even the configuration option "to move large files to the bottom of the disk" works fine. And is indeed speedy gonzales!!!.Latest news from Vopt Customer Support:"Please wait for VoptXP, coming next month." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 VoptMe is what I used under FAT32 in WinMe and it was by far the fastest that I could find. Haven't tried it under XP. Diskeeper was okay but I had to run it several times in order to get my HD completely defraged. Are you saying that you tried VoptMe under XP with NTFS?

TMS Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Have just tried VoptME and that works fine.VoptXP is due out after Oct, 20.Untill then, closest you get is VoptNT, but that's for NTFS 4.x, not for Win2k or XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrichard326 Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 I am using O & O Defrag 2000 Pro on XP with NTFS file system. It works fine. I used to love using Vopt for Win 98 and tried VoptNT on XP. Vopt NT did not function as expected. The new XP version will work as it is supposed to, I guess. I am sticking with O&O Defrag as it is fast and reliable. The freeware version was just fine too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMS Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 Thanks Mod for fixing the links (replacing "t" for "*").I did not think that I had put these cute Japanese substitute characters in the links there myselve. And have taken notice.-----------------VOptXP should be due out this week !!!Time to test prog vs O&O. Note that NTFS has also changed, 1st from 3.51(NT) --> 4.0(NT), then --> 5.0(W2k) and now --> 5.1(XP)!!Thus using a W2k defragger on a changed filesystem.......ok, obviously it has worked out right for you. Thanks jrichard326.:nerves -----------------BTW: Intel has put out a new version of its Intel Application Accelerator, which assists in the Defrag process and auto gives you the next driveht*p://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/:cool: The place for Intel's new XP drivers (for Intel Chipsets+Intel boards)ht*p://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/xp/driver.htm:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkt productions Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 What about JETDefrag from Fix-it. Have not use it, but defrags at next boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote:de45ab8f0d]Wouldn't touch it with a 9ft barge pole mate! I'll be sticking with Diskeeper 7 since its certified to work with Windows XP. It can do boot time defrags, MFT defrags, page file defrag, and scheduled defrags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFrye Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 The release of the Diskeeper that comes with XP does NOT have the "SetIt and ForgetIT" feature. Under Windows 2000 this could not be done, refer to technet article Q227463.Is there a way to automate this feature under XP?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
