Windows Best free defrag

hi all

well i am guessing the title says it all, basically i am looking for the best free defrag program for vista as the one that comes with windows has stopped working

cheers

 

Have you tried running it in safe mode, or via the command line? Using it in the command line should hopefully give you an error message that will help us work out what is wrong.
Clicky

 

defraggler or Auslogistics defrag are good. The one for vista takes 10-12hours on my pc.. pan in the rear!

i'll second Auslogistics

 

defraggler works for me.

 

I tend to use JKDfrag which has just had a nice upgrade and name change; MyDefrag. Not a fan of the name change myself but the software is just as good if not better than before.

 

+1 Does a very decent job

 

I've also used Auslogistics and it seems to work well. Always difficult to tell with defragging whether it's truly doing the job well or not.

 

Best one I have used and still use is 0&0 defragger

 

Defraggler for me.

 

Good post. I appreciate it
Thank you so much for the post. It's really useful.

That isn't exactly free, is it?

 

There is a free version of O&O, I always used that one.

 

I tried the MS one that comes with Win 7 today.
Firstly it said that there was no de-fragmentation after analysing then when run it said it had de-fragmented some of the drive.
Completely confused I downloaded defraggler (another great free utility from Piriform) it found 80 fragmented files and proceeded to defrag the drive from 44% to 23% with only 2 large files fragmented.

 

I did that today.

It said after analyzing, there was no fragmentation.
Defraggler said there was quite a bit of fragmentation.

 

I use 0&0 defragger

 

I use Perfect Disk 10

 

Defraggler wins for me, basically everything piriform makes is pretty epic in my opinion.

 

I use Auslogics and I find it quite good, especially since I have +300GB of data and it takes roughly 3 hours.

 

Jkdefrag to is nice
