Hi oOTNTOo,
I love the O&O Defrag V6 Professional Edition, its the best Defragmenter ever. :rolleyes:

Defrag Pro knows a few ways to defrag your HDs. It can organize by name/ date or access. You can controll the maximum usage of the prozessor, defrag your bootfiles and pagefile.

O&O have also a good tool for windows NT recovery, its called BlueCon.
BlueCon gives you full access to NTFS formated HDs. This tool is great. Test it!
O&O Software

Greez, Sie Tjin Kian

O+O without a doubt. defrag all your disks at the same time if you like, run various methods of defragging, a brilliant package.

with other defrag software you only have the one method of defragging a disk, so if theres some fragged files on there and it cant shift it you are stuck. With O+O another defrag method might just do the trick and move the problem files.

@ Jonquil Bloom

Its really simple to crack it yourself. Just fold your Diskeeper 8 Professional CD and sure enough it will crack.

Back in the days when we worked with 5 1/4" floppys you'd have to deep freeze em for a day or two. And with a swift snap you could crack the disk as well.

BTW... a bit of side-kick info on Diskeeper... Supposedly the author is a member of the Church of Scientology. I believe Diskeeper (the one included with Windows) is not in the German version of Windows XP/2000(?) because the German government was afraid it may contain a backdoor.

Perhaps some of our German readers can confirm this?

I'm new to this forum/board so this is my first post! I've been using this terrific little utility for defragging for about four months now and it's been a gem!

GEODisk 1.0.8

You can access it:Here

I used to use perfect disk 6
It's said to be the best
but my feeling is that it reduced your bootspeed too much
then I uninstall it
I'm using the windows' defragmenter

That's an interesting piece of information. A google search turns up a lot of interesting articles and such.

Here's one from 2001 relating to Panda Software:

The few articles I glanced through were fairly old. 2002 and before. I guess this is old news.
