I might sounds like a noob here, but I didn't know how to do a proper defragmentation of my disks so that I can actually see what's going on. As most of you Vista users out there know, this version of Windows doesn't have a nice visual defragger like good old windows 2000 or even XP had, and if you are like me you like to see the progress and have a sense of what's happening when you are defragging your machine. Well in order to do that on Vista you have to open the command prompt as administrator (by right clicking on the icon and "running it as administrator").
Once it's open the command to defrag is:
This does a full defrag of your hard drive
defrag c: -w
you may add "-v" to the command for a verbose option where you get more info on what's happening.
The other nifty command is
defrag c: -a
which does an analysis of the drive to tell you how much fragmentation there is in the first place.
