[Free] The Best Free Disk De-fragmenterSource of this is from a email
My top recommendation here has long been Diskeeper Lite V7, the last free version of the commercial Diskeeper program now at V10. Or so it seemed until I received this email from Vashek Weis. " I found Diskeeper Lite 8 on a CD accompanying a new Intel motherboard and later when I checked for updates on the Intel site I found Diskeeper Lite 9! To get it you need to download the full version (89MB) of Intel Desktop Utilities. Once downloaded, run the exe to unzip its contents into a folder of your choice. In the directory tree created you will find these folders: .../3rdparty/Diskeeper/and .../3rdpartyDiskeeper.64/. Works great and the new Performance tab is excellent. In the Readme_EN.txt and in the License Agreement I didn't find any rules prohibiting downloading and using this program (on a single computer), therefore I am assuming there aren't any. Please note that both on my desktop and on my laptop the installation failed unless I uninstalled previous version of Diskeeper Lite." Great find Vashek and thanks for writing. Windows 2000 and later, 89MB http ://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/idu/ |

Thank you so much Microsoft 98 for sharing this information.
I had been using PerfectDisk for a while but when I tried to defrag an Acronis TrueImage 3GB .tib it hung on "optimization" for almost 3 hours. I could hear noises coming from inside the external HD where this file was located.
Enough!!!! I went back to Diskeeper Lite version 7.0.414 and waited a few hours to "calm" the drive down.
Then I defragged and all is well. |

To use the other utilities you need an Intel motherboard (I assume they all use Intel CPU's). |

| F drive |
I have 190 installed. Archived? Unknown... Some of these in F drive have other directories and/or multiple versions inside of them. This does not include server in N.C. I've had to store "items" offsite, HDD was getting to it's limits. You might say I got a few... EDIT: Also have a "couple" of CDs and DVDs burned as archives. Did I mention this is a laptop? |

Unfortunately, it does not work with non-intel based boards. Since I built this box from parts in the store, the only Intel device on board is the processor. I am disappointed. |
