Acer Aspire 5100 notebook takes 8 hours to defrag
Why would it take this long just to defrag about 40Gigs on drive C? Drive D (80 Gigs) takes so long that I just havent bothered. Seems that everything is a bit slow on this computer but I figured that is because it probably has a 5400 RPM drive to save power. Thanks .. Remove dashes "-----------" to e-mail. |

You need to understand there are many factors that will affect the time it takes to defragment. You can search for and read the many articles that have been written on the subject and a good place to start might be the Microsoft web site. I've been using a versatile utility called ScanDefrag that I've had good success with, but I schedule it to start and run "off hours" and to shutdown the computer when it finishes. -- _ct_ |

I guess I will have to do that. I seems odd however that with the out
of the box software configuration, even before I touched it, It took excessively long to do this task. The more I added the worse it became as expected, but not to this extent.

If you do use the ScanDefrag utility, the log will list any processes that
are running. Also, it may take longer just because it has not been defraged before. Good luck. -- _ct_ Frank White wrote: I guess I will have to do that.
