damn .. i never defrag for more than a year .. look at the result of my D:\ .. filled with fragments.. that explains the slow down i've been experiencing lately.. my friend owes me a lot because i'm temporally keeping couple of gigs of his files for him
HAHAHA that is horrible!!! defrag more. I do a scan disk atleast once a week about 3am (have it scheduled for once a week and while i'm asleep) Defrag, I do once a month. I also have that one scheduled for the first day of each month from 4am-6am.
defragging a NTFS on XP usually wont take long right? i was thinking of defragging when i'm in class or asleep
OMG, I haven't defrag for like over a year now. I'm experiencing some slow downs but usually a reboot does the trick since i have my com on 24/7. gonna defrag while i sleep tonite.
i also leave my PC 24/7 .. but i felt as if my pc have been slowing down alot lately.. so i decided to defrag C:\ tonite.. & late D:\ later.. haahahha
I defrag my drive about once every 1 or 2 months. But I really hate to defrag. It takes so long to finish.
defrag doesnt take long when you are on NTFS .. my C:\ took maybe 2 hours or less.. ~40gb partition now to see how long will my D:\ take ..
if i'm not mistaken NTFS is way faster when it comes to defrag .. that explains why i use NTFS for all my drives.. Please show me your defragment analysis .. thx
you have so much free space.. anyway .. just defraged my J:\ .. very fast in deed.. its not messy either looks like i need to free some space on D:\ before i can defrag (optimized) .. need at least 15% do perform optimally
The space used could have been more if I didn't burn some gigabytes of songs and video onto CD-Rs and deleting a whole lot of files that I seldom access.
now my main problem is i dont have enough free space to defrag my D:\ it has 13% free space now but still cant defrag
NTFS give syou more space on the hard drive as in it doesn't waste as much space as FAT 16 or 32 does. FAT 16/32 make a table and list where everything si found. NTFS saves that list with a file and points to where soemthing else it etc... (I think I got that right) And Also NTFS doesn't need Defraged as much as a FAT 16/32
man...after defragging my C:\ still so fragmented. maybe i don't have enough free space or something. hmm..
24% isn't too bad. Should have enough free space. i know I've gotten mine down to like 10% free. (its was a slave drive though not my master.)
