[Defraggler 2.22 detecting my HDD's as SSD's]

Hi this is Robertlaw again.  Read my earlier messages above first.

Last week I uninstalled Defraggler.   It showed at three different times when I defragged my hard drive that my system was 33%-45% fragmented.

Which I new to be ridiculous and inaccurate as hell.  In five years of using earlier versions of DF, the results have never gone over 8%  Plus DF incorrectly states that I have an SSD, which I don't.

As I stated above, after uninstalling DF,  I used the Windows 7 pro defragmenter.   It showed 0% defragged!!

Anyways, for the fun of it, I just now re-installed Defragger, latest version again.  

Sure enough, its still incorrectly shows I have an SSD which is untrue.

I ran Analysis (and Analysis) only.   It says my hard drive is an acceptable & believable 7% defragged!

I am not going to run the Defragger!   Who the hell knows what damage it could do.  This software is VERY SCREWED UP.

I advise everyone to skip this version.  There are major problems with this.

By the way, I am loyal fan of Piriform.  I have been using Defragger and Speccy and CCleaner for more years than I can remember!!

Know this as well:  Both Speccy and CCleaner also wrongly identify my 8 year old 500 GB hard drive as an SSD!!!

What gives Piriform!!!   Someone's asleep at the switch!   (I still love ya!)

I uninstalled Defragger.

Opened the Windows Disk Defragmenter that comes standard with Windows 7 Pro.

I ran the Disk Defragmenter.

It showed 0% defragmented cells.  ZERO! 

0% - not 41%

WTF!!  You tell me what's wrong with Defraggler!

I finally finished a full defrag.

Came down from 43% to 37% fragmented

What a mess!

I then closed program, and immediately re-opened it.

Ran Analysis - its show 41% fragmented now.

I don't recommend using Defragger. 

It's got problems.   And, of course, it wrongly identifies my hard drive as an SSD.

Defraggler is really screwed up!!!

I ran for 3 hours, was 45% completed and went from 33% to 28% fragmented.

I had to shut down my computer and run out for a while.

Two hours later, I ran Defraggler when I opened computer, and when started up it showed 43% fragmented!!

What the hell!!   Now it shows 40% completed and says its 39% fragmented!

Now I am considering uninstalling Defraggler altogether.

Same problem as DJ above -

I am using free Defraggler.   It is incorrectly identifying my hard drive as an SSD.

And showing that my hard drive is 33% fragmented, which is impossible because I check it weekly and keep it under 10%.

I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Samsung laptop.

I went back to earlier version, it shows hard drive correctly, but says I am 33% fragmented now!!

And the graphic shows empty rows interspersed in-between active rows.  (sorry, I am not very technical)

By the way, SPECCY has same problem!!   The latest version shows incorrectly that I have an SSD!!

I am running full defrag on latest version of Defraggler.  I hope that I am not messing up my hard drive!

Note: Unlike DJ, the program has not hung up.  Its defragging....14 hours to go.  Watch this space!

Regards

Robert
