The never-ending two-step defragmenting process of Vista can soon become a thing of the past. With certain tools, we were able to cut defragmentation time of 25 GBs of files with Vista Ultimate from 82 minutes to 6 minutes!!! That is defragmenting 10X faster than the built-in Vista defragmenter! The tutorial also works with Windows 2000 and XP.

Defragment 10X faster

Follow-up:

Many are saying that Microsoft said it is unnecessary to defragment NTFS. While that may be true, many are noticing an increase in performance once they defrag their system, including myself. This article is a tutorial on how to speed up the defragmentation process, not one that is asking you to defragment your drive if you don’t think you need to. To defragment or not to defragment is entirely up to you. Sorry for all those confused.

That’s good news to me. I currently have PCs on Windows XP OS which I defrag daily to optimize their performance. With the tutorial I will be able to know how to speed up the defrag time on my PCs.

I've always had good success with AusLogics Disk Defrag Free. Run it about once a week or two and keeps my system going well!

Sure thing turbino. I like it a lot better than the Windows one since it's generally a LOT faster!
