But even so, the windows defraggers take way too much time to defrag, and often they dont do a good job. (eg. they dont defrag the $MFT AFAIK). The Vista defragger also seems to be crippled wrt available options and progress display. If you go out of the freeware arena, there are some good defraggers like Diskeeper Pro that make defragging easy and fast. DK gives better options for defragging single or multiple drives, and the defrags are also much faster compared to windows. But Diskeeper's trump card is the autodefrag mode...set it and forget about manually defragging from that point on. Might sound like hype, but actually works really well.
