    Defragmentation of 2 HD.

    I was a XP user and i'm used to defrag my C drive then my D drive.
    But after i change to Vista, i don't seems to have a choice and i can't see
    if it is defragmenting both drives. My Question is = Is it Defragmenting both
    drive or just the default C drive?

    How can i be sure about it?

    Pls Help

    Which volumes does Defrag defragment?
    In Windows Vista, Defrag defragments all volumes on the computer.

    The Filing Cabinet : Disk Defragmenter FAQ:
    http://blogs.technet.com/filecab/articles/440717.aspx

    You can check the status of the fragmentation on all drives using a command
    line.
    Go to Start and type: cmd.exe In the results, right click cmd.exe and
    select the Run As Administrator option.

    In the command prompt window, type the following command.

    defrag /?

    Press Enter.

    This will show all of the command options for the defrag command.

    Type:

    defrag D: -a -v

    Press Enter.

    This will take a few minutes to run and will give you a detailed report of
    the fragmentation on the D: drive.

    Not much longer anymore, apparently, as the behaviour of Vista's defrag
    will slightly change in SP1:
