| | So questions are:
1. How often do you defrag your hard disk?
2. Which program do you use to perform this task?
3. Do you think that is important to keep your hard disk in top shape, or you just leave it to make its hard way of fiding yours fragmented files  ?
I do it every day or every time I stop using computer, meaning in shuting down the computer, so reguraly defragment takes only few minutes.
I use Diskkeeper.
I think its very bad for harddrive if it has to find those fragmented files, not to mention slowdown access time and even to much work for it, resulting in faster occuring errors on harddrive. |

The default Windows disk defrag. 3. I could care less. As long as everything I use works correctly, I'm okay.

1. Never, there is no need to defrag my main-os  2. In windows (2th os) I only analyse never had more as 3% frag 3. If you keep install-uninstall in windows low your system will be oke.

1. i check weekly or when i feel there is some slow down in running programs or done several install/uninstalls. 2. i use norton speed disk to defrag and clean unused space. 3. if you dont defrag, your hard disk heads have to seek more and over time will wear off moving parts and may break down even though it may not show much difference in performance in the short term. just my 2/100

1- rarely2- VoptXP3- Leaving your H.D.D is better I think specially partitions with larger clusters.

1. About every month 2. Disk keeper 3. I found that a nonfragmented HD tends to boot faster every time, so i guess its good idea to speend an hour defragmenting it every now an then.

1. Every week 2. Default Microsoft Defrag or Disk Keeper 3. Normally I defrag whenever I notice my games loading longer then normal or when windows take longer to load. Also I noticed that after every defrag, my webpages seem to load faster.

I do it about once a month or after i install alot of stuff. Sometimes i use the default windows and sometimes i use the Norton diskdoctor. I cant tell any difference in quality or speed between the 2 tho.

Yeah I would think that at least once a month or at least once within 2 monthes if you run lots of stuff and files through your comp. Though when I didn't have so much stuff on my comp I didn't really do it at all.

About two years ago, i had had my PC for about 4 years and didn't know what the word ment!!! The CPU is so old that since i have left it so long since a defrag, that my big hard drive takes way to long to defrag, and restarts the defrag every 10 seconds. This may just be some sort of virus doing this but who knows. However, i did recently get a hard drive (about 20gb) and I defrag that about once a month...
