    The best is Diskeeper (yes, just one 'k'), but it isn't free; however, there's a 30-day free trial . . .

    I recommend Diskeeper 7, but I'm biased. I did alpha and beta testing for Diskeeper versions 6 and 7. You can get a "lite" version of Diskeeper at www.diskeeper.com.

    IIRC a "lite" Diskeeper version 5 is part of Win2k and a "lite" Diskeeper version 6 is part of WinXP.

    I recommend Diskeeper 7. I use it in Windows XP and have had really good luck with it.

    Probably true, but you can't fully defrag with it. Diskeeper has an option to defrag just after boot so a full defrag can occur. Then run Bootvis.
