I am using a trail version of O&O defragmenter professional V6
http://www.oo-software.com/en/products/oodefrag/pro.html
Specs on machine 1 are 1.8 P4 with 768 mb ram (the 266 MHz one I think)
XP Pro SP2
Several NTFS parts.
Specs on machine 2 are 1.6a P4 with 655 mb ram
Xp Pro SP1
1 30 gb NTFS part.
This defragger has 4 methods of defragging (algorithms) and file placing:
-free space consolidation
-name
-recently modified
-number of times modified
Do these sort of defrags and reorganizations work on NTFS partitions over 10
gb and over? Is there a noticeable improvement gained if several passes are
done? I would like to try to use the reorganization via name but after a
couple of passes over my XP SP2 Root partition the drive seems to forget the
reorganization passes that O&O makes. It's a slow defragger but I'm
wondering if its worth the bother to try and reorganize by name if on next
start-up it has to go through the whole 2 our process again....... I have
not tried it yet on the SP1 box.
Any reviews from you folks here?
