Defragment

I am currently running Vista Ultimate with SP1. When I was running XP PRO I could defragment my disks myself. Now I can not find the exe. Vista wants to do it its self, I used to run a defrag several time to get back for usable disk space now it can't even see how fragmented my disks are. Does anyone know where the exe for defraging is hidding?

Amit,

That is the normal defrag for Vista. The one I was looking for one could watch the defrager working. thanks for your post.

Defrag data disk

Hi,
The disks on which my databases are stored is heavily
fragmented. This because of wrong database grow settings.
Can I use the Windows system tool: Disk Defragmenter to
defragment my disk or will SQL not like this?
Thanks,
Jeroen.I believe you can, so long as the block size <= 4KB.
You will need to stop sql server if you want the data files defragemented

Also your disks may appear more fragmented than they really are.
If you have a few large files that are in 2 fragments, you disk can report
as being 90% fragmented without this being a big deal.
