Defragment by Defragment and Optimize Drives app. But, the procedure may take several hours. Step 1. Step 2. In the Status box, you can see all readable drives that are allowed to optimize and defragment.
Step 3. Select the drive you want to defragment. Step 4. You need to wait for a while. You can set a schedule to decide when to defrag the computer to avoid forgetting to defrag regularly. A schedule window will appear. The "-r" option tells the defragmentation utility to treat files that are fragmented with 64 MB fragments or larger as though they are not fragmented. This partial defragmentation is the default for "defrag", and it's the only way the GUI defragmenter in Vista works.
You can also force the defragmenter to defragment everything. That is, even if the file fragments are larger than 64MB, the Vista defragmenter will still attempt to put the file into contiguous sectors.
To do this, run the defragger with the following options:. As you have probably have guessed, "-w" tells the Vista defrag tool to do a full defragmentation. All file fragments will be consolidated where possible. You will still not get any feedback as to the progress of the defragmentation with the command line tool, just as you did not with the GUI version.
However, at the beginning and the end of the defragmentation, "defrag" with the "-v" option will give a report, much like the old Windows XP GUI defragmentation utility. Again, though, it will not report fragmented files with 64 MB fragments or larger as being fragmented. With the command line version of the Windows Vista defragmentation utility, you have at least a modicum of control over the defragger, and some information about your hard disk file fragmentation.
If you need any further details or fine control over the defragmentation of your hard disk, you may have to consider a third party defragmentation tool. All rights reserved. Do you find this article useful? Use FaceTime on Android Signal vs. Customize the Taskbar in Windows What Is svchost.

How I added more disk space with out any hassles or costing me an arm and a leg! For reasons beyond common sense, Microsoft decided to turn Vista disk defragmenter utility into a faceless tool that no longer displays the graphical overview when running analysis or defragmentation on a disk Volume. While the GUI interface does nothing to report information or status information, a better way to generate detailed reports and perform other advanced tasks is to run disk defragmenter tool from the command line.
Unlike Windows XP disk defragmenter tool, Vista interface only allows you to modify the schedule and start the defrag:. The GUI also does not allow you to defrag individual Volumes, perform an analysis, or provide any useful reporting. Ironically no defrag information can be found in Vista event logs or Performance and Reliability tool. Fortunately, running disk defragmenter from the command prompt you will need Admin rights , gives you greater control of which volume or volumes to defrag, allows you to run analysis and view detailed reports.
To view disk defragmenter available command line options, open a command prompt and enter the following command:. Attempts to consolidate only fragments smaller than 64MB. Attempts to consolidate all file fragments, regardless of their size. The defragmentation and analysis output is more detailed. An example output, shown below, runs analysis on the C: drive with verbose mode:.
As you can see, a more detailed analysis is shown with information at the bottom indicating that the volume is not fragmented.
