I rarely use defrag software because I separate frequently modified file into separate partition.
Windows built in defragmentation is good enough for me, but to fully defrag the disk I still need O&O Defrag, with boot defragging I do not have to defrag the disk on other computer.
Speeddisk for ntfs (windows 2000/xp/2003) is lame compare to speedisk for fat32 (windows 98).

o...so it is for tidying things up? If that is the case, why don't just sort it manually?

its not the file that u have to sort.. every file have been broken into several fragment.. so everytime u copy/ install these file are scattered all over the hd, so the file become fragmented.. that is why it need to be defrag.. (correct me if im wrong)

Defragmenting your hard disk improves its performance by arranging your data contiguously. This allows your hard disk to read data without seeking all over the platter.

Yes, Windows XP comes with a built-in disk defragger. You can use that as well, although it seems to be slower and less advanced than third-party utilities.

Probably cause there doesn't seem to be a Lite version?
