Haven't used Perfectdisk before. Any better than the Windows defragmenter?

A lot better yes, this release also lets you defrag single files.

really nice software, my only gripe about V7 was that it did not have a screensaver mode like diskeeper, but V8 does

Does it have process' runnning in the background even when not defragging?

killer_uk · 12 Sep 2006 at 21:54

Yes, but I turn off the services till I need to defrag again.

Hm, i shelled out for the v7, will do so for this, its an awsome tool.

going to give this a go today, I have used disk keeper for years, but recently it just doesnt seem to be doing its job very well.

every time I analyse my boot drive after a reboot it shows it as a right old mess, defragmented bits everywhere. I defrag, all look well, then rebbot and anaylse and its screwed again. Also taking an age to boot and its a speedy raptor too so no excuse really.

will give this a whirl and see how it goes

I got the V8 of this software, and was quite happy with the freshness of it, all until I needed to once again defrag my Metadata, which always requires a reboot as it needs to defrag before Windows fires up, but the trouble is that with the V8 it says something like "Cannot gain exclusive access to C drive" but with V7 that problem does not occur.

With that I went back to good old V7. Might there be a reason why that is coming up on the new version but not the old one?
