Defrag Windows Vista Faster

Posted on June 29th, 2007 by Jason

Instead of using the standard Windows Vista Defrag Tool, use the combination of Contig and PowerDefragmenter to make the process ten times faster.

Steps:

1. Download Contig here.

2. Download PowerDefragmenter here.

3. Save both files in the same directory.

4. Run PowerDefragmenter and click next.

5. Choose options appropriate for you:

Defragment File(s): Defrags up to 4 files
Defragment Folder(s): Defrags up to 4 folders
Defragment Disk: Defrag disk
PowerMode(TM) Disk Defragmentation: Defrags two consecutive defragmentations while keeping the time the same.

6. This pops up Windows Disk Defragmenter…

7. That’s it!

Note: Contig works on OS version NT and above which means this may work for Windows 2000.

    I have sampled the free defraggers like contig+powerD, auslogics disk defrag etc, and yes, they have the advantage of being free, but none of them really match up to the speed and performance of a fullblown defragger like Diskeeper.

    Always, diskeeper defrags faster and is easier to configure for defragging the MFT, for boot-defrag and for multiple drives. The great automatic defrag mode is also not something found in the freeware defraggers. For users with a lot of time on their hands, it may not matter, and everyone has their own preference of software. But, I run defrags on my video editing rig quite frequently because I need to, and diskeeper has been the best tool in keeping my drives defragged easily and in the shortest amount of time.
