Does vista automatically maintain the HD or should I invest in one?
Does vista automatically maintain the HD or should I invest in one?
it has a similar program to XPs disk defragmenter, just you get no graphics displaying the status of ya HDs..
I use JkDefrag v3.34 works fine on vista x64 & x32
And it's free.

does anyone know how well does the builtin vista defrag program perform
Vista's defrag has no display and no option for drive selection or defrag mode AFAIK. Anyways, I currently use Diskeeper Pro 2008 with my Vista Home Premium, and I am very satisfied. Easy to install and use, and very good performance at the cost of minimal resource usage.
power defragmenter is also good(and free).
I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
Vista's Defrag has never been that good, always a HD thrasher.I useDisk Defrag - Reclaim the Speed Of Your Disks It's free and very quick.
You can specify which drive to defrag in Vista by rightclicking drive in Windows Explorer > Properties > Tools > Defrag.
Oddly for me though I can no longer open disk defrag. Even navigating to the exe in the system32 directory and double clicking or running as admin doesn't work. I am running a legit and activated version of Vista Ultimate. Defrag did work a while ago though.
Any ideas?
Edit: is x64 Vista Ult
I personally use O&O Defragmenter on Vista..
Seems to work

Remember with Vista that volume shadow copy files (which are massive), hibernation and page files can't be defragged whilst the OS is running. Doing it offline is a better option where possible (dual boot, defrag from a PE environment).
EDIT: sounds like diskeeper is VSC aware reading round.. Problem is, I want a defragger to just run on demand, not all the time. hmm.
I use Raxco's Perfect Disk, Not free but good
