    If you use a program such as Vista Optimizer 2008, there is a visual defragger.
    But you're probably better off just getting hold of a dedicated defragging program.

    nope

    There is no way to get a drive map in Vista defrag. Vista's defrag is very different from XP's.
    I have Diskeeper 2008 pro installed on the Vista laptop (and XP gaming desktop) and I really like it. It performs better than the Vista defrag, works in the background unintrusively and has useful options such as VSS-aware defragmentation. Not free, but worth it, IMO. Highly recommended.:) EDIT: you download the trial versions from the diskeeper website, and use freely for 30 days.
