The pic says it all. Haven't defragged in a good while and torrent's doesn't make disks better :/ The red is the fragged parts of the partition and this is the os partition.

    It is the c unfortunatly. A few defrags will make it better and as you said, set it and forget it does the trick.

    Holy Smokes Mack, that is by far the most fragmented HDD I have ever seen, happy defragging.

    Just curious but how long did it take to complete?

    I've seen much worse where I work. I've seen Laptop's with almost no free space on a 40 GB drive. All fragmented. Took over 16 hrs on a nice P4. Good luck defragging it...

    Took 20 minutes. Wasn´t that bad since the partition is only 7 gigs. Ran it twice though. Torrent's is a bitch for harddrives.

    MJO had this to say

    ;D

    Larry, you must be one hell of an overclocker if you can fragment a heatsink. I know which dust-packed one you are talking about though.

    On a more serious note....

    That is why I like to run my set-ups the way I do. That way my OS is never any more than 98% unfragmented. I just make a partition about twice as big as I think I will need for my OS and any direct apps and make the D: drive plenty big for all my apps and scratch space. I make a floder on my apps drive for temps, temp IE, my docs and anything that changes a lot. Then that is the only drive I really need to worry about. If I haven't gone crazy with DL's or installs it usually only needs a clean up to go back to being healthy. Since I got hooked on running everything on RAID-0 I made sure to learn as much about setting things up in the first place so I wouldn't need to worry so much about defragging. I learned most of my RAID and set up techniques from that old Texan. ;)
