Hey everyone! Just wanted you all to know that I am progressing well with my results and should hopefully have them out next week sometime. I'm trying to make the information as detailed and thorough as possible. It will also be unbiased; no favoritism whatsoever.

Do you have an update on those test results we're all eagerly waiting for? :D

It's been on the back burner for the last week. Work, fiancee and illness are in the way right now, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. I'm working on it today.

Another vote for Diskeeper 2007 pro. Until a month or so ago, I was using a cocktail of various defraggers' trial versions. But I finally settled for DK for various reasons but the real clincher was its auto mode.

I really like the automatic defrag-in-the-background mode and it does an excellent job of keeping both my drives defragged. Totally removes the need for scheduling manual defrags- I've not had to run a single manual job after switching to DK. I was initially skeptical , but invisitasking does work very well. I would need a really compelling reason to abandon DK pro now, and I can't see any other defragger offering such a reason as of now.

after awhile i always switch between perfectdisk and diskeeper because i can never decide what one to use,the thing i do like about diskeeper is it defrags automaticaly without bothering me wheras with perfectdisk you need to schedule it but a plus for pd is that it has the best boot defrag and needs as little as 5% free space to do it's thing but with dk it seems like i need like 20% or more,can someone correct me if i am wrong?also with dk it seemed i only needed to do 1 boot defrag then let it do it's thing,my drives are usualy quite full and after awhile i do back stuff up to free up some space,i always read articles that pd is the better of the 2 and what dk says is true too but... but also on some systems dk wont work but on all systems pd works fine.need help with it.

I have some more testing to do, and then fix all the validation errors in the HTML file and it will be available.

so what's the status and are there going to be any further delays?

this is the second or third time it's been delayed and we've yet to see anything (and it's been a month since you last posted...)

It's called life. New versions of defragmenters, and even a new defragmenter showed up. Sometimes I'm motivated and sometimes I'm not. I'm getting married on August 11th.

It will be finished when it is finished. Want something sooner? Do your own testing.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I allways used the WXP original defragmenter and I like it shows the graph. But now I miss the graph in Windows Vista so I would like to find such a defragmenter which works perfectly in Vista at the first point and second it should show the disk usage graph. Is there any?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
