Defragmentation of 2 HD.

[Guest]

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.

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:
