Ive had a go at power defragger coupled with contig... didn't like it

Currently using Defraggler (From the same people who made CCleaner) nice, simple and informative GUI and their file specific defrag is FAST!

(Im on Vista 64)

I use diskeeper - found it to be much more effective than windows.

Can also defrag your hdd on the fly when the PC is idle

Is this any good? I've not heard of it before?

Edit - just tried it out - and it finished after 2 minutes. Now, no offence to the program - but I know that I haven't done a system drive defrag in months - there's no way it should be that fast.

I ran JK straight afterwards and it's still going. :/

Btw do you guys use options such as "move to the end of disk" at all? Will I notice things speed up if my data's arranged like this (I would have thought so)..

Yellow are files being read, click "Help" then "Drive Map Legend" shows you what the different colours mean

Yeah, UltimateDefrag isn't exactly the most user friendly app - you need to read the helpfile to understand how it'll work for you. Basically, you can choose which files to "optimise" ie defrag and move to the fast outer tracks of the drive. You can choose which files to "archive" ie move to the slow innner tracks.
