Boot Time Defrag

Hi,

I am just wandering why is the "Boot Time Defrag" in a portable version (no install version) of Defraggler is "grayed-out". post-45702-0-97449600-1299004005_thumb.jpgHow can I enable it?

Thanks,

I guess that as you're not installing Defraggler there would be nothing to defrag with when the pc was booted.

Because the portable version is meant to be installed on a drive that doesn't normally get mounted during boot it would be impossible for a portable Defraggler to run at boot time. I assume (this is untested) that if you delete portable.dat then the option would not be greyed the next time you start the program. However I don't suggest doing this if Defraggler is install on a drive that is not mounted at boot as (and this is an educated guess) it may place your computer in a unfixable (or at least hard to fix) stalling boot loop.

Thread cleaned up by removing a couple of posts.

Old thread but I just set up Defraggler Portable and spent time trying to set up the .ini file options to no purpose. It would be efficasciou if it were noted in the help that those who want Boot Time Defrag should use the installer version.

The other thing I noticed was that a "Quick Defrag" would probably run for 6 hours if I let it. I'd hate to see how long the slow defrag would take.

Anyway, I did get the Boot Time Defrag of C:. It only took a few seconds since I have the page file configured so that it cannot be fragmented. I was just curious. :)
