This utility is based on Mark Russinovich's Contig program that works on NT4 and higher. Contig is included with this utility.

Mark is the one guy in the world that knows more about Windows than Microsoft does! So they hired him.

This util works MUCH faster than the built-in defrag program.

I like - and you don't have to meticulously make sure every little thing is shut off to run the DEFRAG. I've never actually defragged this PC before. MUCH BETTER!!

Check out these two free defrag utilities:

Free HDD Defrag:

Free Registry Defrag:

Both of these are fast and free.

I've got O&O Defrag Pro is this as good?

Looking for a way to invoke the defrag via command line. This way all the computers can be defragged late at night when the end-user won't be affected.

As long as the program uses the standard NT API's for file defragmentation it should be A-OK.

Which OS version?

 

[ToyotaNSaturn]

XP SP2.

 

[faqulars]

you can mount there drives and run defrag or use the task scheduler to run at a predetermined time.

Thanks for the tip! I downloaded and used the above. Much better than the MS Defrag.

Used it to defrag one of my PC's that Windows XP kept complaining I didn't have enough disk space. Definitely much faster and did a better job. Thanks TNS.

Hey...

I downloaded it, clicked on it to unzip it and it says the compressed folder is Invalid !!

It will not open.

What is going on...???

 

[Oldmoparguy1]

The download was probably corrupted. You might want to DL it from a different place.

I used the HDD Defrag program off your link. Was only .67 fraf'd, now it's 0.00 - Thanks!

This program really does what it says it does. I'm frankly impressed with the speed and thoroughness of the program, and at how much faster my laptop is after defragmenting twice with this!
