[Defraggler is taking forever]

Welcome mikehimself

That comes standard with IE6.

 

What operating system are you using?

Hi.

That was the least of my problems.

 

I have stopped Defraggler.

Restored XP to an earlier date.

Removed Defraggler.

Nothing happens now when I click on My Documents. But I can get to them via My Computer.

No other damage found (yet).

Tried Auslogic's defrag, which is very fast and pretty to look at, but doesn't appear to do anythiing extra.

Gone back to the MS defrag, which seems to be competent and works better if you run it more than once.

Who can you trust?

 

Farewell, Mike.

Or a tip you can use is not use the latest defraggler lol. Just download an older one. My personal fav is 1.01 . As its one of the earlier versions before everything started getting bloaty and having useless wasted things added. So believe me, it will scan faster than the newest one. This has been the biggest gripe with me and many other fans of Defraggler. Which really how far can you update one? If it does its job just stick with it and leave it be. Someone somewhere though disagreed with that theory.

Hi.

Same Problem. I am using Defraggler for the first time on a 12GB partition with around 75% used space. The analysis showed 300 fragmented files and around 19,000 total fragments.

After 24 hours running, I am down to 155 fragmented files and just over 4,000 total fragments. The 'clock' is saying 30%. The process appears to be running slower and slower.

 

I find the numbers confusing.

If the 30% is to be believed, the process will take another 2 days.

If the number of frgmented files means anything, I am about half-way.

But if the number of remaining fragments is taken, then I am about 75% done.

 

Can anyone predict how long I will have to wait?

 

I have long suspected that the MS defragger isn't very good, but what is Defraggler doing that takes so long?

 

Will I see a significant improvement in performance?

 

What is the significance of the light-blue and dark-blue squares?

 

I have tried 3 times to post a reply to this forum and IE6 has crashed every time.

Seems to work ok with Opera.
