What you say is interesting. Being too cheap to buy Norton for NT I couldnt
find out how Speed Disk works compared to DK. Exactly what does DK say
after a Speed Disk defrag. Right now my DK says I have 5 fragmented files
and 6 file fragments. But overall it reports that this means there is 0%
excess fragments per file on the particular partition in question. In short
my partition is 100% unfragmented as a practical matter because 6 file
fragments out of 1000's of files is not material. Also this phenominon of a
few file fragments only occurrs on the partition where NT lives. All of my
other partititons defrag to absolute zero fragmented files.
Anyway do you like SpeedDisk or DK better and why.
