defragmentation and data

I think this make sense. I understand from your statements that leave Windows to do their job. In another words Windows defragmenter is the best pet because it’s apart of Windows and knows Windows better

On another side, I did read carefully the above replies and set three machines with different defragmenter on each, later and after several hours of work on each machine I found that regardless of what defragmenter were used Windows always put files back in the same position that Windows defragmenter used to locate them. Has any one noticed such behaviour? Thank you

 

Not quite.

THe built-in windows defragger is a watere down version of Diskeeper Lite.
Read the papers I pointed to at the Perfect Disk site.
Other papers are available at th eO& O Defrag and Diskeeper sites.

The built-in defragger is a very inferior critter.

 

wouldnt it just make sense to use one defragger so files arent moved back and forth?

 

Using more than one defragger will result in lots of needless file movement.

Each defragger does things differently.
One has to read the papers to which I referenced to judge which defragger is best.

 

1-I’m using one defragger. but my job requires some times to”slice” /resize/merge/etc. hard drives. So while I was searching for a good defragger to push all data toward the front first. I found out that regardless the defragmenter you use Windows defragmenter finally RULES i.e after few hours of works if you go back and see the disk analysis screen shot, you’ll be surprised to find that the analysis is exactly as if the HD is defragged with Windows defragmenter. Sorry for weak English. Hope I made it clear this time

2-if you’r willing to divide/resize/merge/etc. the SUPER BEST defragger is “dirms” Thank you iceni60

3- the HD in question has been merged and resized in “real time” usin PartionMagic but data first was pushed using “dirms” without a problem. Sorry other defragmenters didn’t quite do the job. dirms is free, very small, no installation, no mess, pushes every thing to the beginning of HD, doesn’t add any files to the system and leaves the customer’s computer clean because all you need is to delete the file it self from C:windows\system32 and that’s it. Thank you again iceni60

 

THat's not the case.

THe built-in windows defragger does not display the info necessary to see what has been done.

THe differences are quire demonstratable, just read the papers at the Perfect Disk and O & O Defrag and Diskeeper web sites.
