What defragmenter?

Norbert666 · 18 Jan 2006 at 20:25

I have two HDDs. One with Windows XP, the other is a data drive, full of 120Gb of stuff.

The data drive is in a pretty horrendous state, according to WinXP defragmenter. Red lines all over the place.

I've defragged it within WinXP, but it says some files couldn't be defragged, and I still have loads of red lines.

Is there a better alternative to the WinXP defragger?

thanks

Diskeeper lite is not much better than the Windows one, in fact Diskeeper developed it for M$.

PerfectDisk is worth the money IMHO (humble! )

Ran DiskKeeper this morning. Made a bit of difference, but the disk is still a mess.

Is there a better freeware option?
