Defrag In Safe Mode Vista

Posted on

When you defragment your computer, you remove all the gaps, and Windows Vista rearranges the placement of all the files into the most efficient pattern. This helps your computer access files more quickly and enables it to find larger sections of memory for saving new files and programs. It seems to me that defraggling in safe mode is far slower than. Along fine using only Windows Disk Defragmenter or Vista's improved version.

By Computers require regular maintenance in the same way that cars do. You should defragment your hard drives regularly in Windows Vista to improve your computer’s speed and efficiency. When files are deleted, this leaves gaps of space on the hard drive. When you save something new or install a new program, that code can become fragmented across the hard drive as it fills these non-consecutive “holes” with its data.

Choose Start→Control Panel→System and Maintenance and then click Defragment Your Hard Drive in the Administrative Tools. The Disk Defragmenter window opens and begins analyzing your computer to determine how fragmented it is. If you have User Account Control enabled on your computer, you’ll see a message box asking if you’re sure you want to go to the Disk Defragmenter.

Just click Continue to open the Disk Defragmenter window. 2If necessary, click Defragment Now.

A message appears that Windows is defragmenting your drive and that it may take up to a few hours to complete. Soilwork stabbing the drama rar file. The Disk Defragmenter window will give you a message to let you know when your drive no longer requires defragmenting. They aren’t kidding about the hours thing. Disk defragmenting can take a long time, particularly if you have a larger hard drive.

So, try running your defrag overnight while you’re happily dreaming of much more interesting things. To help things move along faster, turn off any energy-saving features (such as a screen saver), as they could cause the defragmenter to stop and start all over again.

I have heard the same claims about how manually defragging is no longer needed due to improvements in the file system, implementation of background defragging, faster computer hardware, etc. Since Windows 95.

And the fact is that despite these undoubted improvements, at least some systems develop signficant fragmentation, to the extent that a manual pass in safe mode is helpful. For instance, I am a developer, and in the course of compiling and testing many files of a variety of sizes are constantly being created and destroyed. Add to that the fact that our applications tend to create or consume really large data files. The result is that for me and my colleagues, occasional (about once every 3 months) manual defragging makes a big difference in the peformance of our systems. The process we use has been as follows: 1) use disk cleanup or similar to remove temporary files, unused system restore points, etc. 2) disable the system page file 3) boot into safe mode 4) defrag several times in a row overnight from a batch file 5) turn the page file back on and 5) boot back into normal mode. This always results in a big speedup, if at least a couple of months of normal (for us) use has transpired.

What is not helpful is that, apparently, with Service Pack 1 of Windows 7, it was decided that Defrag shall not run in Safe Mode. In fact, the DLLs and.inf file associated with it have vanished from all systems where SP1 has been installed.

This is another example of the incredibly frustrating tendency of Microsoft lately to quietly remove existing features as part of a new version of upgrade. This may well be the thing that finally alienates the user community enough to switch to the increasingly large number of alternatives. Software Developer. This reply seems to come from a different dimension from any post in this thread. From the OP above: 'Tried that in the past and it did not work. Tried again and it still does not work.
