I'm using PD v8b50 now. Working great so far w/ no issues. Didn't realize my Vista install was that hosed!

Once you have installed your OS and apps it's always a good idea to immediately run a defrag.

Installing any of the Windows OSes usually leaves your HDD with a few percent of fragmentation as soon as they are installed. I guess it's the nature of the beast.

i like the vista supplied auto defragmentator

pd v8.5

Diskeeper. Only because of the fact that I don't like how Vista doesn't give you any kind of progress indicator when running a defrag with the built in defrag utility.

O&O seemed to work on the Beta version.

NTFS gets fragmented so easily though... most *NIX file systems are much much MUCH better behaved, though after FAT32 I guess NTFS isn't that bad

Yeah, I agree that the built-in defrag is totally lacking when it comes to giving you any information about your drives - that's if you run it in the Vista GUI.

If you open up a command prompt window and run it from the command line it's much better.

Use it with -a switch to perform drive analysis only, or with -v to specify verbose mode.
