Looking for quality defragment software
Most of you will remember that older versions of windows had a defragmenting function with a nice visual map that showed all the harddrive sectors and their status according to color.
I cannot find this same function in Vista. I only have the one without any graphics. Is there a third party disk defragmenter/optimizer that has something like a visual aid or graphic to show whats going on. Or maybe , even if without a map, just a good defragmenter? Thanks

I've been using Diskeeper Pro for several years now. I like it for its ability to perform a boot-time defrag to defragment the MFT and pagefile, its automatic background defragging, and its ability to adjust the size of the MFT.

Not clear if request is for something to buy or something for free. For free, the Auslogics defrag program is good. It's good for home PC use. At least on XP which is where I operate. For Vista, you'd have to try it or check the compatibiliy.

Auslogics works fine on Vista (including 64 bit).
