Tried the evaluation download on my cheap laptop, but there is some
problem. This is what I told PerfectDisk:
Trying to run a boot time defrag after analyzing C:
Machine is Acer ASpire 368-2633 (cheap laptop) running Vista Home Basic,
Norton Protection Suite, SUPERAntispyware, and Comodo BOClean. After the
analysis and instruction for boottime defrag, PerfectDisk suggests offline
reboot, but there are "open handles". It suggest rebooting, to which I say
yes.
Then, machine does not shutdown, except by holding down power switch.
Upon reboot, windows ask for normal startup, bacause of the sutdown error.
Then vista seems to start (horizontal progress bar moves), and the defrag
too, but an error (driver conflict?) occurs, machine will boot to login
screen without doing the boottime defrag. If I login and then redo the
drive C analysis, same thing happens. Need powerswitch powerdown, and it
repeats all over
However, if I reboot again from the login screen, before logging in, defrag
seems to occur (messge no active pagefile????)
So I need to reboot twice????
Of course, this Acer laptop runs a type of PowerQuest imaging program which
uses a PQservice drive, normally not visible to Windows, but visible to
PerfectDisk.
The hard drive has 3 partitions:
PQService
Drive C ("programs"
Drive D ("data")
It is drive C that needs defragging, according to PerfectDisk, the others
are fine.
Any info appreciated before I buy PerfectDisk 8.
The double reboot is annoying, but it seems to work now (performed the
boottime defrag, now is working on "regular" defrag, while in Vista).

>Searching fo an alternative, I found Raxco's PerfectDisk 8.0 Professional:
I've been using PerfectDisk for a few years. I never looked back to the
Diskeeper days. PerfectDisk is a better disk defragmenter. It does a
better job in one pass than Diskeeper did in multiple passes.
The Raxco customer support people are good to work with as well.
