OK I defraged my machine two nights ago and I will never do it again, it is running worse ?!?! WTF ??

hehe, that happened to me too.

f*** I was pissed off. Just let it frag itself again and it runs sweet!

I will never do it again

You think I was kidding ?? :p

Rodolphe what OS are you running? I saw on the Windows knowledge base that soem systems running ME have huge probs after running the system or 3rd party defrag programs. There is some issue with a file and a fix is posted on the windows site.


Some ME systems wont even boot after a defrag apparently.

Win2k using NTFS, I used the windows defrag.

maybe you can find a tool that will redefrag it

Or you could reformat and reinstall. I find in some cases its actually quicker to reformat and reinstall my OS instead of defragging :).

I only defrag my windows partition which is ~2gig so it doesn't take long at all, but it apparently has dire consequences...

windows defrag is the best for windows. Microsoft writes programs specific to their product. The 3rde party programs may free up mroe hd space and defrag it better but windows defrag defrags it the way windows likes it

but that is wierd, you uset he windows defrag..... hgmm can't explai nthat one

Instead of creating a new thread I'll ask a question here, it is my thread so lump it bitches...

Are there any norton ghost style programs that work with NTFS ?? Noryon Ghost is a great program but it dun write to NTFS partitions :o(

windows defrag is the best for windows

I find that hard to believe what about scandisk?

Why the did you use NTFS ?

I'm usen win2k with fat32 file system. Works fine. My defrag does its job too. maybe your hard drive is f***ed.

windows 2k scandisk has that awsome PRUNE EVERY FILE ON HARD DRIVE THAT CONTAINS THE SMALLEST ERROR feature that makes it so unique.

I've noticed that

norton system works does ntfs, and another good util for ntfs is diskeeper
