    Cool

    If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and get the full version of Norton Speed Disk. The whimpy free version won't do it and neither will the Diskeeper Lite or the one built into Windows OS. I do a lot of video work on the computer and I usually use Norton. However, I had my system rebuilt a couple of years ago and I forgot to give them my Norton Speed Disk CD to load after the rebuild. Anyway, was editing, started getting bogged down, knew I needed to defrag, and decided to let Diskeeper do its thing while I grabbed lunch. By the time I grabbed my keys and my wallet, the damned thing said it was finished.

    Hah! Sure, like my daughter says she's "finished" cleaning her room.

    Anyway, this was a 150 gig Raid that was over 80% full and Diskeeper shot its wad in, like, two minutes. So I loaded Norton on and it continued to chew on the drives for another two hours; drives that Diskeeper said were defragged and ready to use.

    My first post here. Hi, Shatzy.

    shit man! it was that fast???

    i managed to defrag in about an hour.... which
    was better than most. i'd like to have it super
    fast [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    what i really need to do is eliminate some bulky
    shit i have on my pc that i rarely use (but for
    some reason, i HAVE to have it).


    somedays i am totally female! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

    oh... and as for the neighbors....
    might as well DO the crime if you are consistantly
    going to be accused of it.....

    btw.... everyone... this is roger...

    the circumstances surrounding his appearance
    here are irrelevant (though the more scrupulous
    private investigator can easily detect the
    push)....

    what i do wanna make public....


    roger has to be the most friggin articulate
    poster i've ever had the pleasure to read.

    many times i have read his posts and just been
    WOWed with the atypical punch and jab his posts
    always bring.

    definitive, concise... clever.... read his
    posts! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    However, as far as defragging goes, nothing beats a nice, slow, heavy defrag of the files and free spaces; speed notwithstanding. Sometimes, you just gotta take it sloooowwwwwww. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    a third of a day to complete... and no, i ain't
    kiddin, folks....

    it only took a short time to defrag.... i'm just
    happy to say that i DO defrag... not that it
    reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally means much in the grand
    ol scheme of things....

    you know....
