I found out that it analyzes both drives upon opening, but when I select Defrag now...
it then gives me the opportunity to select the drive(s).
I was a bit concerned that it would defrag both drives without any input from me.
Must be by design.

Thanks much,
James

My best guess is to shut down, disconnect the external drive and reboot.
Then do a defrag.

From the moment I open defragmenter it begins analyzing my drives.
I get no opertunity to select a drive.

My defragmenter has a choice to select volumes or all drives.
I'm using Vista Home Premium.

I'm trying to get Disk Defragmenter to analyze only 1 disk at a time
but can't seem do do it. I'm using the following but when it starts analyzing
in reports Analyzing disk 1 of 2:
%SystemRoot%\system32\dfrgui.exe c:

I have an external hard drive but I don't want both drives to be analyzed.
Even when I got to Computer and right click c: and select Properties|Tools Tab
and 'Defrag now' it analyzes both drives.
Any way I can get Defrag to address only 1 drive?

I'm using Vista Basic sp2.
