Which defrag program is compatible w/ vista?

[franzon]

the Vista's built-in defragmenter is the best because it runs at low I/O priority using the new Vista kernel's feature

If you were interested, Raxco does have a version of PerfectDisk 8 for Vista that has a 150 day free trial. Just go to http://www.raxco.com/products/downloadit/p...wnload_home.cfm and fill out the info and select PerfectDisk 8 (beta for Windows Vista RC1/RC2) and they'll send you an email with the download link. I haven't tried it in RTM, but I'm sure it'll probably work the same. Also, this version is the only one currently that will work in Vista, the other version of PerfectDisk 8 won't install.

sorry to revive this old topic but does anyone know why O&O defrag 10 says " this product requires windows 2000 or higher" and the stops installation ?

PerfectDisk works perfectly for me.

I prefer JKdefrag http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/

It's very lightweight and fast. I created a "optimize.bat" file that runs Disk Cleanup and then JkDefrag. Then I use windows task manager to wake my computer in the middle of the night and run this job weekly. End result is that I have a clean/defraged machine without the overhead of a defrag utility that is constantly running as a background process.

I currently use MSTDefrag. Only $15 and it's very lightweight.

Chunter, are you using the latest version from O&O?

[Chunter]

I think the one that comes with vista is made by Diskeeper right?

What about Defraggler? It's a freeware program developed by the creators of CCleaner and Recuva. Granted it is still in BETA testing, but I've been using it since the first version and it works like a dream. :)

Diskeeper works great (latest build)

I use Diskeeper too. Very satisfied with it; Takes care of all my drives nicely.
