Defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file system of your computer. Generally files get scattered around a disk in pieces rather than existing in one contiguous because of file movements, deletions and other reasons. Defragmentation process physically reorganizing the contents of the disk to store the pieces of each file together and contiguously. When a file content is arranged contiguously speed of data access and retrieval increases.

Just tried out the Jkdefrag + GUI program. Its an interesting program but it doesn't seem to work properly...I set the Analyze only option in the UI, but the program trys to defrag. Either it is buggy or I am making some mistake. Anyway, too much trouble and nowhere as user-friendly as a proper commercial defragger. The Jkdefrag without the GUI has no controls whatsoever. No start, stop or pause buttons. No option for selecting a specific drive etc :(

I am sticking to Diskeeper pro..it is far better and does the job quickly without confusion. I also have control over what drives to select and what defrag mode to use on each drive. So, Diskeeper for me until something better comes along! :)


We have 8 systems in our school library and students work almost the entire day. Most are un aware of the safety measure of computing and download all sorts of files into the system. The fragmentation levels are so high that each system gives different troubles,one hangs another freezes! The HDD must be loaded with rubbish and sick with fragments.


I use PerfectDisk. Some highlights for me -- it consolidates free space, defragments system files, and requires as little as 5% free space to defrag. Might be an option. Never used jkDefrag.

@Neptune - jkdefrag without the GUI has plenty of options... You just need to specify them from the command line. See the HTML help file that comes with it.
