What is the best non-windows free defragmentation tool?
What is the best non-windows "free" defragmentation tool? Looking to shorten some of my game load times, like BF2. Windows Defrag just isn't cutting it. Thanks

Once a drive is defrag'd, it's pretty much defrag'd. Changing defraggers really won't show an improvement in game loading times. Anyway, Diskkeeper Lite has been recommended pretty much here.

Thanks. I asked because I have heard some defragers will take most access files and frag them at the edge of the disc for faster read times. I guess this is was I was really looking for.

I'd have to double check, but Norton Utilitie's Defragger would defrag to your personal settings. It was a great tool back in the Win 98 days. Don't know if the newer versions for XP still let you do that or not...???

I did some more research when I got home from work just now. Diskeeper actually does what I'm looking for. I'm downloading it now.

Note that "Diskeeper" is Not free. Only Diskeeper Lite is. And I don't believe they support it anymore.

There is a way to get Diskeeper Lite version 9. It's part of the downloadable Intel Desktop Utilities - a 90 meg download. The one you find at Majorgeeks, etc. is version 7.

If you are gonna buy it, get 10. It's even better, it lets you resize the MFT.
