I later found out if the boot partitions gets too fragmented it can stop booting

2.5 days to defrag. PC was unusable while id did this. (And I did copy big chunks off to help)

What is this package, O&O defrag?
Can it defrag multiple drives at the same time?
I could do with a decent freeware utlility to do all local drives
with a few clicks then leave it, as the standard win2k one doesnt allow you to select multiple drives ?

This would mean they all get done, bit of a pain in the arse though, could do with something a bit more point and click.

they have an enterprise version which works in client/server mode. Haven't tried this one yet, but the desktop version will defrag multiple volumes at the same time etc...both cost $
