Diskeeper 7 (Build 430) Update Available

Advertisement (Why?)

Thanks Xahid

Diskeeper is an automatic disk defragmenter that configures your defragmentation schedule based on the condition of your disk. It eliminates the need for you to know how often to defragment each of your disk volumes for maximum performance. Diskeeper will take note of fragmentation levels and adjust run-time frequency anywhere from every hour to one week. Diskeeper 7.0 is up to six times faster than earlier versions. It takes minimal system resources to maintain peak performance and runs in the background, unnoticed by end users.

After the release of build 428 Execsoft now offers build 430 as a download.

Changelog:
Diskeeper build 430 adds support for Windows Server 2003, and includes performance and reliability improvements to the boot-time defragmentation engines.

Please Note: On a small number of Windows XP systems, running a boot-time defragmentation may result in a Windows message being displayed after the post-defragmentation reboot indicating that the system did not start up properly. This is sometimes followed by a CHKDSK operation, which finds no disk errors. We are investigating the cause of this message, but at this time no system that has displayed this startup screen or run a post-defragmentation CHKDSK has demonstrated any problems. You can simply use the default "Start Windows Normally" option, or let the timer time-out. Your system will then boot up normally.

Also Note: The Diskeeper NTFS boot-time engines have been modified in this build to verify they have exclusive access to the volume being defragmented. This change ensures that no other drivers or services can modify the volume while the boot-time defragmentation is running. If the volume cannot be locked, an error message appears describing this and the boot-time defragmentation will not run.

What's the point of software like this? I don't want to defragment at 1:30 AM while sleeping: I'll do it when I have free time.

#3.1 engmike8 on 16 Jul 2003 - 02:56

you get a lot done when youre sleeping?

diskeeper takes under 3 minutes to defrag a very large drive.

thanks for the download link

#3.2 JaggedFlame on 16 Jul 2003 - 03:01

How about having it take up almost no resources and defrag your hard drive in the background so you don't have to worry about it?

any of you do a boot time defragmentation on XP?? i did it once before and it crashed my comp to the shiznit

that was on version 428

#6.1 ToastGodSupreme on 16 Jul 2003 - 18:16

Yeah, did it on XP SP1, both drives. Worked great. Though the scandisk thing came up on next reboot, no biggie. I just pressed a key and it was gone.

Sucks that it didn't work for you.

#7 zackiv31 on 16 Jul 2003 - 05:01

Hrm, wish I could get it to update. I've got v.7 workstation (393), and when I run the update, it says I don't have it installed. FUN!

Will work on this...
