Can anybody recommend a good defragging program? The built-in Windows one doesn't work very well with me...
Something free, of course.

What OS and filesystem are you running? NTFS is difficult to defragment when you don't have much free space to work with.
The included defragmenter in Windows 2000 and Windows XP is a licensed, stripped-down version of Diskeeper. IIRC, the manufacturer has a trial version of the complete edition somewhere
on their website.

I'm running Windows XP, with FAT32 on the drives I need to defrag...
Well, I left the comp running last night and defragged my C drive. Looks like it works after all... Problem solved, thanks.

Here's a tip I heard a little while ago: run defrag in safe mode. I used to get the idiot messages that the drive contents had changed, causing the whole thing to restart. Run in safe mode, these problems go away.

Yeah, I got those under Windows ME. They seemed to have fixed that in Windows XP though...
