Why do you feel the ME defragger is better for you than the one in XP? Why
do think it is in fact different? Why don't you tell us what concerns you about the XP defragger? -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "cynde" wrote in message ... is it possible to load the disk defrag from windowa me instead of using the one from XP, if so can i download it from somewhere? -- cynde |

If you're not happy with the way the XP defrag works and want to "improve"
what the screen tells you, but is not necessarily what it has actually done - or something similar, have a look ar Diskeeper, which is the full-blown version of the basic defrag prog written and supplied under contract to MS for XP. Very flexible, lots of fine-tuning options. http://www.executive.com/coverpage.asp -- johnf Why do you feel the ME defragger is better for you than the one in XP?

I agree heartily. You can download a 30-trial of Diskeeper 9.

Sorry, Harry, never heard of it.
Do you know where I can find comparisons/advantages on the net between the Raxko one & Diskeeper Pro9? -- johnf Raxco PerfectDisk is superior to most defrag utilities available http://www.raxco.com/products/perfectdisk2k/ -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "cynde" wrote in message ... is it possible to load the disk defrag from windowa me instead of using the one from XP, if so can i download it from somewhere? -- cynde |

I would suggest "not" using the WinME defragging utility on a WinXP box,
especially if XP is formatted NTFS, as the ME defrag utility has no clue how to handle it as it (ME defragger) was written for FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 formats. You may or shall I say, most likely end up with a "garbage" partition or drive, providing you can even get it to run. -- Star Fleet Admiral Q @ your service!

Nothing. I don't, but only because I use it's big brother, Diskeeper 9. It
allows me to let the defragger monitor my hard drive for me and run on an as-needed basis. -- Colin Barnhorst [MVP Windows - Virtual Machine] (Reply to the group only unless otherwise requested) "newbie" wrote in message ...
