Just discovered a serious flaw in Diskeeper Lite V1.1
On my system, running under Win98SE, dklite 1.1 can't defragment a
drive containing an ISO file (PL_2006ISO.iso, specifically).
It shows the space occupied by the file as entirely fragmented, but it
can't defragment any thing else on the disk either. The analysis
functions reports:
"21 fragmented files, with 56 excess fragments".
I've run dklite on this drive several times for lengthy periods.
Normally, dklite starts by defragmenting, then shuffling the
deframented files to create more contiguous free space. But in this
instance, it labours along, apparently trying to start with the second
function, and never achieving anything. When I stop the process and
analyse again. There's no change in the report.
Finally, I deleted the iso file, and reran the analysis, and got the
following report:
"20 fragmented files, with 23 excess fragments".
Spent some time looking for an upgrade (in case the problem has been
fixed), but had little luck there either. The publisher no longer
shows any lite versions on its site, Intel is supposed have a Ver 9
lite bundled in a utility suite for its own motherboards, but it's not
clear what the system or hardware requirements are to use this.
The latest lite version I could find was 7 (although it's also called
V.3 by at least one site). I found two versions to download, the one
from MajorGeeks is Ver. 7.0.418 and is 11.8MB, the one from
totalpc_parts.com is Ver. 7.0.414 and is only 9.77MB.
Has anyone tried both?
Do they have the same problem with ISO files?
