On my office PC, I have the Windows built-in defrag program and it’s skin and bones compared to Diskeeper v7.0. I also like the “Set It and Forget It” feature, which allows Diskeeper to run automatically in the background while I work with other programs. I believe it has sped up my boot time, which is the time when the computer boots prior to the operating system taking control. This opens up larger areas of contiguous free space for new file creation and modification. Boot Time defragmentation consolidates directories into a single location, or to defragment the paging file or the master file table (MFT). Reviewer 2: The boot time defragmentation, which is only available on Windows NT/2000/XP versions of Diskeeper. Now I can relax, forget it, and it monitors my system and does it for me. It’s hard for me to find time to do the maintenance that’s so important.

The point of being able to continue using the computer during defrag is a big plus for me, too! If my computer’s on, it’s being used. Yes, it’s similar to the defrag graphics that come with WinXP etc, but is a bit easier to understand for the average user. It still defragged in record time! I like the graphic interface.

This is something I think is great, as I’m always doing maintenance on other’s computers, and tend to neglect my own! I did play around with a manual defrag, and kept using the computer as it worked in the background. I see it ‘checking’, and it doesn’t seem to interfere with anything else you’re doing. Reviewer 1: I love the “set it & forget it” feature. Reviewer 6: Effortless, smooth install, no problems. Producers of Diskeeper, responded: We don’t require Adobe Acrobat to view help files (at least not on Diskeeper Workstation or Server editions.)
I think Acrobat should have been included with the installation disk.

Reviewer 4: There were no real issues with the install disk per se, but if you don’t have Adobe Acrobat reader preinstalled, you will not be able to launch the included help files. The install was straightforward and simple. Install interface is very user-friendly also. I ran into no difficulties at all, and actually have uninstalled and reinstalled just to see how that went. Reviewer 6: Yes, it defragments files speedily and completely. It’s set for “Smart scheduling” since I think it’s what most users would do, which means I let Diskeeper decide how often to run, based on the actual fragmentation of the drive. I’d probably have gotten even better results if I’d scheduled Diskeeper to defragment in the background more often. I achieved good results after an initial manual defragmentation and using Diskeeper in the automatic “Set it and forget it” mode, and installing/uninstalling several programs. Then, you do not need Frag Guard in the first place. They indicated that, if you set the Paging File Initial and Maximum sizes to the same value, the Paging File will not fragment and, if you keep at least 25% free space on your NFTS partitions and run Diskeeper at least daily, the MFTs should not fragment either. The Diskeeper help desk acknowledges that this is not common but has been seen before. It freezes the computer every other minute. Reviewer 5: Yes, although I have to mention that the Frag guard does not run on my system. Reviewer 2: Yes, it does analyze and defrag the hard drive or whatever source selected. So I have yet to really see enough evidence to support that statement. But, you would with a ‘regular’ defrag also. However, if one hadn’t been regularly defragging, I’m sure they’d see a marked improvement. The only thing I wasn’t really able to determine was a significant performance improvement, as the sales pitch states. Defrag w/Diskeeper took 31 minutes! (This is now my main machine for the rest of the review)

This showed 22 days since last defrag, and using Diskeeper, it only took 6 minutes!! Yes, I was impressed!!Ĥ) Fresh load of miscellaneous software & WinXP Pro on Pentium 4/3 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM, 80 Gb HDD w/approx 10 Gb loaded – not yet defragged since load. First defrag w/Diskeeper took approx 2 hrs, and this one also had been without a defrag for about a month.ģ) Win98se – AMD 1.4 Ghz, 256 Mb RAM, w/approximately 1.4 Gb used on a 10 Gb HDD. Not exactly sure how long since this had been defragged, but I know it was over a month.Ģ) WinXP Pro – Pentium 4/1.6 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM, w/approximately 17 Gb used space on a 120 Gb HDD. First defrag with Diskeeper took 93 minutes (much faster than using the built in defrag). Main computer configurations were:ġ) WinXP Home – AMD 1.4 Ghz, 384 Mb RAM, w/approximately 15 Gb used HDD space on a 40 Gb HDD. I’ve put this application on several different machines, using 3 different operating systems (WinXP Home, WinXP Pro, and Win98se), and it’s worked smoothly on each one. Diskeeper defragments the computer system’s drive for better performance, purportedly better than the built-in defragmenter that comes with Windows.
