Notice how your PC slows down after just a month of using it? This comes from all the copying, deleting and installing of new files. Everytime programs are moved and removed, you create gaps in the file system- quite as messy a labyrinthine ant hill. The hard disk takes longer to navigate for desired information. Hence the inevitable lethargy of your unit.
I originally combatted the problem with WinXP’s built in defragger but an operation took nearly 4 hours to accomplish. My patience exhausted, I tried Norton’s Speedisk which took 1 hour. Not quite fast. Then finally I stumbled across Perfect Disk which does the job in 20minutes. That’s for a moderately messy 120GB hard drive!
Perfect Disk 8.0 runs on numerous partitions, and most iterations of Windows including Vista. It’s surpisingly fast and I noted how near perfect its defrag operation is. To verify its efficacy, I even let other branded defragers analyzed a PerfectDisk defragged HD and always got the same result: no need to defrag. This is unlike having a disk defragged by Microsoft. Fresh after defragging, other defraggers state that MS-defragged disks are still 14% messed up.

A friend told me to try it, and after the trial thing seemed to do well, went ahead and switched to Diskeeper after having a nightmare with the built in defragger.
