Diskeeper 2008 Professional enhances the reliability and performance of your computer - automatically!Diskeeper 2008 Professional edition puts your system in the driver's seat, allowing you to enjoy unprecedented performance and reliability while you work. Fragmented hard drives drain critical system resources and compromise almost every aspect of daily computer use, leading to longer load times, persistent lags and costly crashes. Diskeeper 2008 elevates system performance, debugging fragmentation-based problems as they occur, without ever compromising vital system resources - even during times of heaviest demand.InvisiTasking's true transparent, background processing technology allows Diskeeper 2008 to defragment your computer in real-time, completely eliminating the need for cumbersome maintenance operations.Frag Shield 2.0 is a feature which dynamically prevents fragmentation of critical system files, maintaining system stability and reliability. It helps you configure your MFTs (Master File Tables - the place where information about every file and directory on an NTFS hard drive is stored) and paging files (a hidden file on your computer's hard disk that Windows XP & Vista uses as if it were RAM) as recommended by Microsoft. Following these guidelines will help you keep these critical system files working their best. Your system will not slow down from fragmented MFT's or paging files. Frag Shield 2.0 is comprised of two components: the MFT configuration tool and the paging file configuration tool. These tools allow you to set up your MFT's and paging files so that fragmentation will be very unlikely to occur in the future.Your computer will run faster with Diskeeper 2008 installed - period. You'll enjoy

I like this disk defragmenting program,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Diskeeper 2008 Professional Edition - Complete Package (N66972) Category: Utility Software (CD-ROM)
I tried using the Vista built-in defrag utility, but it can't compare to Diskeeper. This utility runs in the background and defrags while the system is idle, so I don't have to leave the computer on at night to run the defragmenting program. Unlike the built-in utility, the program will tell you everything that is going on and allows you to configure the process. I tried the product out from the Diskeeper trial download site, but ended up purchasing it from Amazon for less $$$.

Destroyed my files!!!,

This review is from: Diskeeper 2008 Professional Edition - Complete Package (N66972) Category: Utility Software (CD-ROM)
I have a ThinkPad T61, which comes included with a demo version of DiskKeeper. I upgraded to the full version because the idea of having a fully defragmented disk gave me warm feelings. I had it for a couple months running in standard mode with no problems, then I decided to use it's "defrag boot files" feature before heading off to bed. Next morning, I get up to find that my screen has that nasty message: "Boot Manager not found." I tried many different tools and techniques (I'm a software developer with extensive experience in administering Windows), but the inevitable conclusion was: Diskeeper had completely trashed the entire partition definition. Most tools couldn't even recognize it as a partition! This was a system that had been previously quite stable, so there's no excuse for Diskeeper to have destroyed my partition so thoroughly. Avoid this product, lest you be one of the unlucky ones!!!

Great, but it appears to have trashed my computer,

This review is from: Diskeeper 2008 Professional Edition - Complete Package (N66972) Category: Utility Software (CD-ROM)
I started using Diskeeper 2008 around March 25, 2008. At first, I was very pleased that it defragmented my hard drive MUCH better and MUCH faster than Windows' Disk Defragmenter.
After about 3-4 weeks of use, my computer suffered one of its occasional lockups. So I manually shut down, rebooted, and scheduled a Boot-Time Defrag with Diskeeper 2008 to clean out the cobwebs. To make a long story short, my computer (a Dell Optiplex GX620) never recovered from Diskeeper's Boot-Time Defrag. I could not use the computer in anything but Safe Mode. Diskeeper tech support attempted to help me, but nothing worked. I eventually had to off-load all my files (a huge task), reformat my hard drive, then re-load WinXP and all my files, drivers, and programs (except Diskeeper). Due to several glitches with the reload process, I ended up spending about 40 hours on the reformat/reload and had to buy about $500 worth of new software. Ten days ago, I emailed Diskeeper and asked them to tell me any reason why their product was not to blame for my meltdown. They have apparently chosen not to respond. I'm not 100% sure that Diskeeper caused the meltdown, but all signs certainly point in that direction.
