Is there an NTFS defragmentation tool available?
January 25, 2000
A. There are a number available for NT that I know of.
Diskeeper - This is available from Executive Software,http://www.diskeeper.com. A free cut down version is available for download, Diskeeper Lite. An update to version 5 is available to enable it to run on Windows 2000.
Norton Utilities for NT - This contains a disk defragmentation package,http://www.symantec.com
PerfectDisk 2000 - from http://www.raxco.com which has some new optimization that Diskeeper does not have and supports Windows 2000 out of the box.
O&O Defragmentation - can be purchased fromhttp://www.oo-defrag.com/index-e.htmlwhich I have been informed works well.
VoptNT - is available from Golden Bow Systems,http://www.goldenbow.com
Windows 2000 has a limited built in defragmentation tool which can be usedas follows:
Start the MMC (Start - Run - MMC)
From the console menu select Add/Remove Snap-in
Click Add
Select "Disk Defragmenter" and click Add. Click Close
Click OK to the main Add/Remove dialog
Select the Disk Defragmenter option from Console Root
Select a partition, Analyze and Defragment
