Usually I hate Mustangs as you know, but I could never insult a car that someone cares about so much. It is rare you see a car that old that looks that good.

*Edit* You keep it in the garage? I don't have a garage and I am so scared the red paint on the GTO is going to get f-ed up in the heat; why I wax it so much.

[Goliath182]

Thank you. :icon_tiphat:

Still runs the same as when i got it new in 97'.

I added a link to the whole pic of the car.

Miles? And is it just a reg or a GT? I think at that time they had the uber ugly GT emblem.

*cough*uglyPOS*sneeze*

LOL, wow, your computer will feel so much faster after a defrag. I use Diskeeper and I defrag once every two weeks. It takes about 30 minutes max, usually like 15 minutes.

[borschtBomber[SS]]

haha that is by far the worse I have ever seen for a disk.

Back on subject,

[Goliath182]

Mine has more colors. :razz:

Was your GTO used? Did you buy it with your own money?

[Miker]

New, Dad co-signed though. I have more color then you, you forgot I have red leather seats, that makes up for no racing stripes.

[Goliath182]

Yea i payed for 100% of mine upfront. :razz:

I meant i have more colors on the HDD lol.

[Miker]

I used the car to pay the car off. :-P

Your drive is so full too.

[PP Mguire]

lol.

your hard drive must either have very crapy way of writing itself, or something else is wrong.

I don't ever need a defrag right after installing XP. And i've only seen it as bad as TS on my gramps old ass emachine were using JKdefrag looked like a bunch of splinters of differnt colors running every which way. (one passs of JKdefrag made it nice an clean, two passes decresed boottime and app start up significantly. an extra 512mb of ram realy helped as well.

May I suggest grabbing JKDefrag (free) instead of the windows built-in app. its so much better.

[Enigmachine]

Wow, forget the defrag, get a backup first! :ahhhhh:

It would be nice to get performance numbers from before and after, I bet big 3-D games load much faster now!

I played WoW during a big backup operation, went in a battleground and by the time mine and everybody else's character loaded my rogue had killed 11 people already :) So yeah HD performance can make a big difference...

[Goliath182]

That was my OS drive so i dont think games will start faster. If you look it says its a 20 GB part, cause you know all my games fit on that. :dielaffin:

My 1TB part is what i use for everything. I have noticed that certain aps like AIM, Firefox that are on my C drive load faster, but since there scuzzys its not nearly as bad as running SATA or IDE with that much fragmentation.

[Seletar]

Wow, that's a seriously fragmented drive.:jawdrop:

There's only 14% free space, and looks like the MFT is fragmented too. The XP defragger may not be able to handle it under those conditions and it definitely can't defrag the MFT either. You may want to look into a third party defragger -(with free trial versions) to get the job done quickly.

My drives are full of contiguous blue..with a chunk of green or reserved space...I have an automatic defragmenter running on the system, so I never have to bother with scheduling defrags for any of the partitions. At the same time, the files are maintained in great shape.:smile:

Yes it is lol, windows defrag didnt do so good with it have to use something different.

Whats a good third party defragger?

My main drive is all nice and blue except for a few red lines that im cleaning up now. :)

What are you using to automatically defrag your HDD?

[PP Mguire]

I never worry about defrags either. Cause i format to much.

defraggler (for small folders, files and other small things.)

JKdefrag (this thing is AMAZING for what it does and how small it is. Best thing is, it doesnt need an install :D)

I personally use Diskeeper 2008 Pro, and I like the way it works. If you are interested, you can get the 30 day (IIRC) free demo downloads from their website at http://www.diskeeper.com It's best to let it run in the auto mode, you can continue to use the PC normally since DK utilizes smart I/O sensing to resume and suspend defrags in real-time. Analyze the disk later and it ought to be done. You can also schedule a boot-time defrag (if required) for the MFT.

Yes, The problem with the XP defragger is that it's okay for the occasional light defrag runs, but it struggles under demanding conditions.

Good luck with cleaning up the drives!:smile:
