Huskehn Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Seriously. I don't know what it is about it, but I find it very easy to just sit and watch Defraggler progress through my drives cleaning them, moving red blocks together to make them blue again. It's entrancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr3bg0D Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 HAHAHAHAHAHA...doing that right now since I had a problem with Raxco just hanging at 1% optimization for 12hrs. Defraggler is at 22% right now after about 3hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted October 8, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2011 My drives are never seriously fragmented so a defrag doesn't usually take very long, so I more often than not watch the process as well. As a pastime it doesn't beat reading old gravestones, but it's up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I am guilty of watching my disks defrag on multiple occasions. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted October 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2011 The last time I sat and watched a defrag tool was back on Win98 since it could stop and complain for stupid reasons, then need another ScanDisk ran for no obvious reason. Now via a batch script my defrag tool runs, and then have the computer automatically shut off, or log off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted October 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2011 Do you remember the error you got with 98, something to with the defrag never completing but just restarting over and over, then after restarting 10 times it would ask if you wanted to restart the defrag again ? If I remember right you had to set your screen saver to none for it to complete.

kroozer Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Drifting a bit here -- One time I had a good laugh with a Win98SE defrag by Windows, watching it continually move the same ~40 blocks back and forth endlessly in a confined area at the end of the disk, until I stopped and restarted it. btw, I'm trying to remember what firm made that software. Was it Seagate? If anyone here still has a running Win98 would they check it for me, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2011 Do you remember the error you got with 98, something to with the defrag never completing but just restarting over and over I dealt with that allot, and along with screensavers running the resident antivirus would just about always cause it to go into an endless loop of restarting.

Super Fast Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Do you remember the error you got with 98, something to with the defrag never completing but just restarting over and over, then after restarting 10 times it would ask if you wanted to restart the defrag again ? If I remember right you had to set your screen saver to none for it to complete. Yes, I remember. Had to have 0 processes running, or it would start all over again. Using Windows ME defrag for Windows 98 pretty much fixed this, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
