Best Defrag Tool for XP?

Atomic · 24 May 2006 at 14:37

I'm in need of a good defrag tool for XP, any suggestions?

I've heard of Perfectdisk, diskkeeper and O&O, and I wonder if any of them are good? Also any good freeware/opensource defrag utilities?

O&O is free, although it takes a while on the thorough mode...

O&O is free? I've just had a loo on their website in the download area and it says you have to buy the products :/

I used Diskeeper for a few years and now I use Perfect disk. Try them and find which you like best. For me Perfect disk does a job (and doesn't require a defrag every 10 mins!)

Then how do I have it downloaded free?

Always used this, does the job and its pretty fast. Looks like the old skool Win98 Defragger with the little blocks

You can get it here free

Use and prefer Diskeeper personally :cool:

Perfect Disk or Magic Defrag get my vote

Thanks for that O&O freeware thing. May not be the latest, but hopefully better than the defrag tool in XP.

Thanks
