Very slow boot after defrag

[no_1_dave]

I defragged my HDD.
Before defrag - 46 secs from power on
Now - 3 mins 57 secs from power on.

The blue bar goes on for ages. Why has this happened from defragging?
What can I do to make it fast again?

Might just be because its the 1st start after the defrag?

I defragged my PC and it was a little bit slower, but now it seems to be back to normal, just give it a few start ups

 

[no_1_dave]

Nah, it keeps doing it. Every restart.
This is painfully slow

Unlucky, you'll probably have to do a repair reinstall and re-apply the updates to fix it.

The thing is it does it if ever I defrag.
I use diskeeper 10.

I'm never going to defrag ever again

That happened to me once before but it went back to normal after a few reboots too, defragging can be a pain sometimes though

Sorry to hear about your horror stories guys, I've never had this trouble, maybe you should try 3rd party software? Diskeeper or O&O Defrag.

That's like saying, I am never going to shave again.

I used diskeeper.

iirc Diskeeper has a boot time defrag, just a small defrag every time you boot your pc
I'd be guessing THAT was what causes your extended boot times.
you know the solution? STOP REBOOTING! LEAVE YOUR PCS ON AND RUNNING FOLDING!

Give Perfectdisk a go

Sorted.
Defrag messed my page file.
Deleted page file & it booted only passing the blue bar once.
Now with a new page file its up at 3 passes, I can live with that
