How to perform defragment on all drives?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to perform defragement on all drives
for XP at once?
When I perform defragment on HDD, I need to do it one by one.
I don't want to wait for current one finished before starting another.
If I can perform only once, so it will perform defragment on all drives,
then I will be happy on doing something else and don't need to watch and wait
all night long.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Do them one at a time. Disable your anti-virus resident scanner before
starting the defrag and don't do anything else while it's defragging!

You could run it with Task Scheduler?

Doug Knox has a vbscript Defrag_all.VBS on his web site that does

Hi Eric,

http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-284-...your-hard-disk

The steps are there. You just basically need to perform it from the command
prompt. But please, do not do anything else while defragmenting.

hope this helps,

Hi Eric,

Try jkDefrag. It defaults to defragging all drives, no configuration
necessary. Put a shortcut on your Desktop and dbl-click it to defrag
all the drives. Quicker and more efficient than the scaled back Defrag.

AGREED. I don't use it myself because it's a PITA to set it so that it
does NOT defrag all drives (I actually didn't even try).

Besides, I've long-since added Diskeeper to my stable of utilities.

Rob,
JkDefrag C:
is not a PITA in a shortcut or .bat file.

I couldn't care less. Besides, you cut out the line that would have
told you so: I am using Diskeeper now anyway.

FWIW, I use Diskeeper 2009 Professional, as mentioned in the other
defrag thread, and it defrags all the drives (atleast, all three of
mine) in the background simultaneously and automatically. Resource
utilization is negligible, so you don't notice it running. It was not
free, I had to buy a single user license, but you can download the free
trial versions from the Diskeeper website.

BTW, defragging two volumes simultaneously on the same physical disk is
not such a good idea. Defragging two or more volumes located on
different physical disks makes perfect sense.
