0 +allan MVC Posted June 17, 2011 MVC Share Posted June 17, 2011 I've never used the internal option but I use PerfectDisk and use the boot time defrag all the time. No, there is no "danger". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xxtechxx Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 not giving danger? you sure perfect disk very effective? but its paid ,expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 articuno1au Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I've used Perfect Disk for a long time. Never had issues with it. There is danger in the sense that if something goes wrong with a boot time defrag, it goes very wrong.. But I've never had anything go wrong nor heard of any one having issues >.< I'll happily suggest using it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Taliseian Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The only danger would be if you have an SSD as your system drive. There is no reason to ever defrag an SSD for any reason. Other than that, a boot time defrag does no harm and may increase your system peformance. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Stingray Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Defrag? What year is this? 1999? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Riggers Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 If you must do a boot time defrag (which you really shouldn`t with 7) then Puran do a free version-> The free for personal use one at the bottom which iv`e used on XP many times and never had a problem. Think i may have used it once on 7 just for, well i really don`t know :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sc302 Veteran Posted June 17, 2011 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2011 Defrag? What year is this? 1999? Vista and 7 do an online defrag when not in use. Xp still can get faster with a defrag and can benefit from a page file defrag from time to time (required offline defrag). 1999 no, 2011 yes. Learn something about your computer prior to formating and reinstalling the OS because it is slow....sometimes it is slow because the files are all over the hard drive, sometimes it is slow because you are using up all of your available memory, sometimes it is slow (well appears that way because users don't understand crap) because of toolbars, and sometimes it is slow because there is something physically wrong with the hard drive. But if your system is slow you may want to try a few things other than a mindless wipe and rebuild, you might actually learn something about your computer. With a comment like this, you are a good candidate of wipe and rebuild when the system isn't working to your liking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 +Gary7 Subscriber² Posted June 18, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted June 18, 2011 I used it once with Auslogic's Defrag and I lost my restore points as well. I do not see a benefit for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 cork1958 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 People that think a defrag isn't still a necessity are nuts. The only reason you may not think it's necessary is because todays computers are so much faster, it simply take longer to noticeably bog down. I defrag with Auslogics defragger after I burn a disc every time. Can't remember the last time I made a coaster. All of my machines are ancient by todays standards and I can notice a difference if I go to long without defragging. Not bad for a 12/1 connection, huh? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sc302 Veteran Posted June 23, 2011 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2011 what you mean? online? :D http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942092 In Windows Vista, there are many improvements in the defrag engine and in the manageability of fragmentation. By default, Windows Vista uses Task Scheduler to automatically keep the hard disk defragmented. This automated defragmentation does not affect the performance of the Windows Vista operating system. The performance is not affected because hard disk defragmentation only occurs when the computer is idle. The task that runs the defrag engine runs as a low-priority task. Therefore, defragmentation does not affect the performance of other tasks that the user performs on the computer. The computer is online and idle/not in use. This has been carried over to windows 7.
