I was a XP user and i'm used to defrag my C drive then my D drive.
But after i change to Vista, i don't seems to have a choice and i can't see
if it is defragmenting both drives. My Question is = Is it Defragmenting both
drive or just the default C drive?

How can i be sure about it?

Pls Help

Which volumes does Defrag defragment?
In Windows Vista, Defrag defragments all volumes on the computer.

The Filing Cabinet : Disk Defragmenter FAQ:
http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/articles/440717.aspx

You can check the status of the fragmentation on all drives using a command
line.
Go to Start and type: cmd.exe In the results, right click cmd.exe and
select the Run As Administrator option.

In the command prompt window, type the following command.

defrag /?

Press Enter.

This will show all of the command options for the defrag command.

Type:

defrag D: -a -v

Press Enter.

This will take a few minutes to run and will give you a detailed report of
the fragmentation on the D: drive.

Not much longer anymore, apparently, as the behaviour of Vista's defrag
will slightly change in SP1:
