D Bone Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 On my Windows 7 x64 Home Premium machine I have set Defraggler to do a boot time defrag at every boot. What files are defragged during this process? MFT? System files? Pagefile? What about regular files that are normally defragged during the standard defrag process?

redhawk Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 No hiberfil.sys ?? Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmcg52 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I don't know what files it defraged at boot but it did a great job. Take a look at the random read speed screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 No hiberfil.sys ?? Richard S. Where would be the benefit ? I assume you might save a second or two upon using hiberfil when closing down or starting up, but is it worth extending the start-up delay by defragging many Gbytes with a Boot Defrag ?

naviathan Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Is there any way to make it perform a full defrag on boot? This way the OS doesn't get in the way with system files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottls Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Is There anyway to defrag the MFT?- Even by another program... (I replaced Win defrag as default, with DF) Boot Time Defrag Boot-Time Defrag – defrags the system disk during the boot time, before the whole operating system is loaded. This allows Defraggler to defrag the files which are blocked after the operating system is loaded. At the moment following files are defragmented during the boot time defrag: C:\pagefile.sys C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\default C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SecEvent.Evt C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SECURITY C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\software C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SysEvent.Evt C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system Win 7 (x86), ESET Smart Security v8, Zemana Anti-Logger free and no other active anti-malware.Free on-demand- Old/fast MBAM v1.75 (No Pro/Context!), MBAM Anti-Rootkit BETA, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, herdProtect.i5-2500 CPU @ 3.67GHz, WD VelociRaptor sata6 10k rpm/64mb Cache HD (WOW!).

eL_PuSHeR Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ultradefrag can defrag the MFT. I hope Piriform will include this sometime in a future version because Defraggler is my main defragmenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Ultradefrag (Thanks!)- I didn't like Ultradefrag as a full defrag (really slowed system), but I'll try running just the MFT part...? Re: DF include MFT defrag? DF would probably have to make MFT defrag an separate option... from Boot defrag everytime (I love this performance option!), as MFT can take awhile, whereas Boot everytime is about 1sec. BTW! DF v2.10.424 is working Good (un-like v.413 for me)! No leftovers at end of HD, that have to be manually defraged... (like .391). No problem with 1sec fast boot defrag everytime (Love this performance setting!). No need for more than 2 passes (best for performance!), to get 0sec completion. HD activity Seems to settle down faster (I 10min reboot 4-times after a full defrag, to get best performance).

This didn't work out for me as I was Very Confused trying to figure out Ultradefrag's umpteen Boot Script Options (more confusing than JKdefrag...)? I was trying to figure out how to defrag Just the MFT, but it appears that I'd have to boot defrag the whole drive? Any help would be appreciated!?
