Default What's the best freeware defragger to use in Windows XP Pro. SP2 with limited free disk spaces?

Ant

How limited is the free disk? Like Patrick I have long been an advocate of
using the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter. There are ways of getting round the
15% rule but it would be helpful to see a Disk Defragmenter report before I
make suggestions.

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and click
on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents Folder and
post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it is more
informative.

An interesting relatively new entrant to the market is Defraggler
(freeware for home users) which I am currently testing. It is worth
looking at and does not with any negative reports. It also comes
from the software house providing cCleaner:

Hello.

Yesterday, I was defragging my office computer with XP Pro. SP2's default
disk defragger, but it was too fragmented with many huge files (mostly
VMware v5.5.9 images) and had limited free disk spaces. Are there any
better ones that doesn't cost a cent? My PC feels slower and I think it is
because of the severe fragmentations.

Thank you in advance.
