Auto scandisk/defrag
Is there a way or a program that will allow automatic scandisk and defrag?
I had my ME system scheduled to perform these tasks every night. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.667 / Virus Database: 429 - Release Date: 4/23/2004 |

Auto scandisk/defrag
T Thomas-- For defrag: See Kelly's Site--Scroll Down to Defrag - Run as a Scheduled Task where there is a small vb script provided for this: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_d.htm XP has Chkdsk instead of Scandisk: You can automate it with this batchfile: http://techrepublic.com.com/5138-6288-729266.html Is it possible to automate CHKDSK? http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache...e+chkdsk&hl=en See for reference: An Explanation of the New /C and /I Switches That Are Available to Use with Chkdsk.exe http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314835 I prefer chkdsk /r as the most effective chkdsk and as to defrag, I think you help yourself considerably if you spring for a third party defrag like Exec Soft's Diskeeper or Raxco's Perfect Disk. It will be well worth the cost in performance inpromvement and functionality, and you can easily defrag the MFT and the Page File. The defragger native to XP is a watered down one made by Exec Soft for Microsoft. Chad Harris __________________________________________________ ________ "TThomas" wrote in message ...
