defrag

[Ralph]

Hi,

Just looking for some information, actually. I have no complaints about
Vista.
It's working better than any other OS I've seen in early stages.

My question is about the defragmentation program.
When it's set up on a schedule, does the program do an analysis first, or
just run the defrag?

I've turned the process off, because I believe it has uses, but should not
run that frequently.

Every time I've checked the analysis, it says I don't need it.
I've run my 300 GB drive up to 85%, backed up data, and run it up again
several times, so I'm not under-using it.

I've found Windows doesn't like a drive more than about 80% full most of the
time.


curious,

I would say rather Windows defrag, not windows itself.( since XP and w2K
time ).

AFAIK it refuses ( so does full diskkeeper version,(at least some)) to
defrag 80%+ disk.
