Re: Boot-time defrag

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

....just a thought...
I think that the PC on which I encountered problems with Diskeeper in the
past, was possibly to do with having some sort of "Fast Boot" facility
switched on in bios - Foxconn 760GXK8MC-S-RS I think, (that was seemed to be
possibly saving stuff from a Windows session - something like Windows
"hibernation" - I never looked into it in detail), ...I can remember
problems similar to yours, in that setting a boot-up level defrag. - so that
it could "get in there" before Windows locked files in place - failed !
....I probably fought with it for a while, and then gave up and installed
Perfect Disk.

....another thought - occasionally I work through Windows Services and try to
track down services that can be switched off, have you switched off any
Windows Services lately ? ...

through these !

Thank you all for your very prompt replies. I will look deeper into
weather I need to defrag such things as the pagefile and MFT. If I do go
ahead I may then look at using PerfectDisk.

Thanks again, Daz
