defraggler makes fragmentation worse

Defraggler
1

hi everybody

i used defraggler on a windows vista sytem the first time and i am a bit suprised by the result. after waiting the whole afternoon until it finished my c: drive was more fragmented then before and two more atttemts did not make it better, on the contrary: they made it worse!

i is a 218 gb partition and te after using defraggler several times the free disc space reduced from about 190gb to 171. the percentage of fragmentation went from 20% before the first attempt to 50% now. also the overall volume of fragmented data grew from about 10gb in over 2000 files to 24 in only 5 files.

maybe this helps (unfortuntely its a german version):

You can defrag pagefile.sys using PageDefrag. (google it)

thanks for the quick reply!

but according to the product website PageDefrag does not work on vista... and according to some other forums it causes problems if used on vista :(

any other suggestions on how i can get my HD defragmented properly?
