The never-ending two-step defragmenting process of Vista can soon become a thing of the past. With certain tools, we were able to cut defragmentation time of 25 GBs of files with Vista Ultimate from 82 minutes to 6 minutes!!! That is defragmenting 10X faster than the built-in Vista defragmenter! The tutorial also works with Windows 2000 and XP.
This is absolutely Free
Tools required: contig.exe and PowerDefragmenter.
Tutorial:
Click here to download Power Defragmenter and Contig. They are both bundled together here.
What you need to know about contig is that it is a bit different than the other defragment programs out there - it is a single-file defragmenter. It’s strong point is optimizing files that continuously become fragmented. If contig determines that the file can be optimized, it is then moved into the free spaces of the disk.
No installation is required. The next step is to run Power Defragmenter. Click next, and you will arrive at the screen below:
You may then select from the following options:
Defragment File(s): Allows you to defragment up to 4 files
Defragment Folder(s): Allows you to defragment up to 4 folders
Defragment Disk: Allows you to defragment a disk
PowerMode(TM) Disk Defragmentation: Defragments at a power equivalent to two consecutive defragmentations. Time does not necessarily double.
After you click next, just choose the desired drive, and you’re good to go.
When you are finished, the command prompt window will read “Windows Disk Defragmenter…”
This is pretty much the fastest defragment you can ever get with great effectiveness. If you’re looking for something that is similar to what Windows Defragment does but at a faster speed, I would suggest Auslogics Disk Defragmenter.
Update: This is the only down-side to contig. It does not really tell you how well the fragmentation process went but as you could see from the visuals above, it is quite effective. If you wait 3-5 minutes before closing the window after the process is finished, the following statistics will be displayed:
- Hard Drive Space
- Free Space
- Largest free space extent
- Percent File Fragmentation
