Windows Vista - Disk Defragmenter
Alternate Defragmenters
SUMMARY: For enhanced performance, consider using a third-party defragmenting tool.
While Windows Vista's Disk Defragmenter works well for most users, there may be circumstances where you need a more advanced tool:
* Files that are currently in use, such as the hibernation or page files, cannot be defragmented without a tool that can work outside of Windows.
* You may need a tool that can run reliably with only a small amount of hard drive space available.
* Files may not be arranged correctly on your hard drives based on need, and a third-party tool may be able to achieve enhanced performance.
* As the default defragmenter does not display a drive map anymore, you may wish to install a tool that displays this information, showing progress during a long defragmentation procedure.
The following third-party applications may be more suitable for your needs than the default tool. This list is for informational purposes only and is not exhaustive:
