Frustrated here as well
lack of information in both gui based and console versions of built in
defragmentator programs made me nervous.
so i downloaded a 30 day trial diskeeper 2007 and guess what? works as slow
as buit in.
my guess would be that they all use same api and that's where the problem
lies
i mean there is no way your 60gb disk could be not defragmented in 12 hours.
well at least diskeeper provides some feedback on what it is currently busy
with.
i don't really understant what was the point of gimping defrag utility in
vista.
in nt 4 there was no built in defrag hence everyone and his dog was using
third party utilities
win2k brought defragmentation to OS and it was good enough
now we have Aero on one side and hours long working defrag without any
feedback. that's a lot of frustration
