Defrag

[Dennis]

Is anyone else having problems with Vistas defrag problem. It analyses the
disks, tells me my file system could be improved and recommends. I click
defrag now and the whole process starts over...weird...also is there a place
where I can actually find out how badly defragged my drive is.??

Thanks for any help

I would recommend using
Auslogics Disk Defrag.
you can google for it.
works with xp and vista, 32 and 64 bit versions.

Select Start, Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt
and select "Run as Administrator". Type "C: -a -v" without the
quotes and wait. That will defrag your C partition and gives you a
report when complete. There are a number of other Defrag options.

O&O Defrag v8.6 is also good. Fast and furious.
