Defragmentation with Vista Home Basic

[soloheart]

Under 98 there were small squares, in xp it has blue bars, red and green. There is also the percentage. Under Vista, there is nothing? We must wait until the page that says it's done?

Hey there is not anything under Vista ... unfortunately ...

As against the SP1, they added a box where you can choose to defragment the disk, but still no visual graphics on the progress of the defragmentation

You do not see to see the progress bar when you defragment or a visual report with Auto Defragmentation enabled.
By default the auto disk defrag in Vista is enabled but does not see more progress bar or report.
Both options are available in the Vista version.

As against, if you want an account of the defragmentation method here.

1) Click Start / All Programs / Accessories.

2) Right click on "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as administrator".

3) In the command window, type the following command: defrag c:-a "without quotes

Or for more details, type the following command: "dEFRAG c:-a-v" without quotes

Wait about 30 seconds for the results.

For a defragmentation aggressive type the following command: defrag c:-v-w "without quotes

But with the auto defrag, you can use your time is another thing, because the auto version is doing its job.

Also there is a way of forced defragmenting the boot sector.

Open a command prompt in Administrator mode and paste this command:
Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll, ProcessIdleTasks

Let your computer work until the hard drive this calm.

I can tell you that the boot defrag in Vista
this command:

Open a command prompt in Administrator mode and paste this command:
Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll, ProcessIdleTasks

performing better than Diskeeper Pro Premium (which I regard as an excellent defragmenter, but it can not ankle boot defrag of Vista.

(try it) but do not forget, this command performs all the tasks idle system, so go do the dishes during this time.
