this thread the discussion was going off topic:
Quote:And Ghost 2003 or 11.5 makes a great Defrag program for my XP drive(s)
I just do a Partition to Image backup followed immediately by a Partition From Image (Restore) and the HD is re-written in perfect order with no spaces between files and of course, NO Fragmentation.
I responded:
Quote:I assume that you never use the Windows 7 defragmenter. When I restore an image (Ghost 2003) and run the Windows 7 defragmenter, it takes a while for it to rearrange the files. Maybe, after restoring an image, there is no fragmentation but the disk/partition is not "optimized"?
When I use the Auslogics Disk Defrag, immediately after an image restore, it is much quicker and it seems to have a different opininion on "optimized".
Maybe a new topic ...

Quote:I do test a LOT of software, and after a test run of the Auslogic's Defrag, I looked at the HD with the Defrag program in Win-XP and 'What a God awful mess' !!! There were files scattered from one end of the partition to the other, and spaces all over the place. That just invites more fragmentation.
I had to use Ghost, running a backup + restore to get things back together again.
No more Auslogic programs for this old tech.
I was referring to the Win 7 defragmenter, OC to the Win XP defragmenter and I thought that we might be comparing apples and oranges.
I restored an Image of my WinXP partition and took a few screenshots of the results. I can only add two attachments to each post which means that there will be four posts, this one and the next using Auslogics Disk Defrag:
1a - Auslogics analyze after restore.JPG
1b - WinXPdefrag analyze after restore.JPG
