What's the best freeware defragger to use in Windows XP Pro. SP2with limited free disk spaces?

Phillip

Do not despair. That is a lot better than it was.

I do not know the answer to your question.

I would try Defraggler. You can defragment single files. Work throgh the
smaller files leaving the largest until the end.

Hope this helps.

Does this program or MS' defragger have an offline defragger (reboot,
defrag, and back to Windows)? I recalled PerfectDisk has this feature.

Thank you in advance.
