The defrag utility that comes with Norton utilities /systemworks is very good and fast.
Also the one that comes with system mechanic is good.
But the default windows defrag utility is also not bad.

I have been usin PerfectDisk for over three years now and it beats the hats off Diskeeper and Norton SpeedDisk.As a mater of fact you can search the net and verify this.

Diskeeper Pro if you don't mind spending some money. I've configured it to smart defrag automatically between 12pm and 6am daily. It runs as a Windows service. Can be used to expand MFTs and defrag them too. Does wonders for my Flight Simulator drive.

Or use the Windows default defrag tool.

Perfectdisk 7 for me... a lovely tool with a nice and easy interface....

i tried Diskkeeper 9 though... but could not get used to the interface... hence left it... will try out Diskkeeper 10....

I install as less crap on my system as i can...
i use default defragmentor
default windows media player
NT backup for backup

because if u go installing everything in the end u have a hell lot of things on the system and the registry is messed up like anything, just my view...
no offense on anyone who uses other softwares... but i must say

Diskeeper is great.......

windows default takes up too much time and even after one 100% completed defrag,i ran it again that instant and it again took a lot of time and removed some more fragments...thus i`d like to say its not very efficient...

we never said it was too good at defragmentation..... it is actually made by the makers of diskeeper....
but some of us just frefer not to take pains of installing things again and again and use default....

u are 100% right that default tool misses things

diskeeper 8

i tried DK10 & Perfect Disk 7, perfectdisk was so slow & for my use 8 was enough

bbesides i can manually turn off the dkservice.exe, & still run diskeeper in v8, but not in v10
