Defragment your hard drives and speed up your Windows XP

24 September 2008 869 views 8 Comments



If your Windows XP or Vista is getting slow, a wise thing to do is to defragment your hard drives!defragment

There are many programs but one of the best is Auslogics Disk Defragmenter. Just download the defragmenter, install it and run defragment. It should take approximately 1 hour and it says how much faster your computer went (for example 30%).

When the program has completed defragmenting you should immediately feel the difference (if the percent was over 30). Your computer should now be much faster than it used to be. Programs start up in a glance!

Yes, I know Windows XP also has a built-in defragmenting tool, but it sucks.

    Hi,
    Commercial defragmentation solutions are more powerful than the Windows default defragmenter and come with a host of useful features.

    For instance, Diskeeper 2008 is a fast, powerful, fully automatic real-time defragmenter that features both automatic as well as manual defrag modes with useful capabilities like online MFT defrag and directory consolidation. Diskeeper employs only unutilized system resources for defragmentation, so other programs are never interrupted during the defrag.

    Please feel free to download the 30-day trial versions from our website for evaluation.

    Best regards

    nice solution. anyway when a operating system is slow it does not just mean that it need to be defrag. In fact it may need to be clean by all the junk. by the way…there are are a lot of free defrag out there like the one you mentioned. have a look at this article: http://www.webtlk.com/2008/05/15/defrag-your-vistaquickly/

    i will give the software a try. anyway with all the applications around in the end the best solution still remains to format the whole Windows operating system once a year. it is only physiologic for every Windows OS above all if you install a lot of software on your machine

    Many people don’t like to defrag the hard drive of their computers because it takes too long, but is essential to keep the computer running smooth.

    there is a sysinternal tool from microsoft to defrag pagefilesys and-hiberfilsys which are normally locked when you run a normal fragmentation tool..
