Isn’t the idea of upgrading your computer with a newer OS to make the computer run better? So far, Vista has been a huge let down. WHY, you ask? Because there’s no freaking status bar! I wasn’t really a big fan of XP’s disk defragmenter when it came out, but it was 30x better than Vista’s version. But we have no way of knowing which is which. So a 5 hour defrag that apparently doesn’t do anything? Either that or Vista is lying to me when it says that my system needs defragged. And it still said “Your file system performance could be improved, it is recommended you defragment your hard drive now.” Or something to that effect. When it finished in the morning as I woke up, I restarted the computer, and out of curiousity I decided to start disk defragmenter again. I’ve managed to make it through the process one time. Not to mention the fact that it takes 10x longer on Vista to degrag your hard drive. No status bar or indicator of any kind leaves you wondering whether or not Vista is hung up, and whether or not it’s telling you the truth when it says your file system needs improvement. Vista’s Defragmenter, like Vista’s Defragmenter, like most things on Vista, is a horrible downgrade. Since you can continue working on the computer while it’s defragging, it doesn’t much matter how long it takes and I don’t really need to know how much time it has left. You can still use your computer during the defragmentation process.” Defraging took me about 6 hours when I manually ran it.

Windows Help says, “Disk Defragmenter might take from several minutes to a few hours to finish, depending on the size and degree of fragmentation of your hard disk. The subject of reports (detailed analysis) is mentioned here:

Windows Help says, “Advanced users can use the command line tool Defrag.exe to generate detailed reports and perform other advanced tasks.” I’m not an advanced user and I’d like to see step-by-step details how to generate a report. I do miss seeing the colored status bars and especially the report at the end. I really like the new defrag options where I can set the computer to defrag weekly and not worry about it. Perhaps not all Vista versions have the option to choose which drives to defrag. With Vista Home Premium, in the Defrag window I have 3 options: Modify schedule, Select volumes, Defrag now. Choose which drives to defrag The tutorial doesn’t mention that you can choose which drives to defrag.
