Disk Keeper 6

[ZoSo925 0]

Someone was telling me there was mention on this site about a patch for Disk Keeper 6 to work on XP. Does anyone know where that info is? Their main site has no mention of that.

7 is out.. its compatible with XP

7 isnt out, well according to Executive Softwares page it isnt. 6 SE works fine with XP.

6 SE screwed up my system (NTFS) when I did a boot-time defrag, I don´t think it has support for NTFS 5.1 which Win XP uses.

don't use boot-time defrag if you are using 6 SE...
but the regular defreg is fine in XP with 6 SE

Has 6 Se support for NTFS 5.1?

Can I use 6 SE with regular defrag on the NTFS 5.1 format?

[FatFish 0]

yes, regular defrag can be used on NTFS 5.1 with 6 SE

7.0.393 is out but there's also a patch for 6.0 (it's something like 6.01) so it will work in XP. I used it and it does work but now I'm using 7.x

diskeeper can do boottime defrag and defrag the MST.

[canonjon 0]

is 7.0.393 a beta version?

[JBoDEAN 0]

What does boottime and MST defrag do? should i be using them?

[FatFish 0]

sorry, it should be MFT Master File Table...

SpeedDisk usually will frag the MFT in 2 or 3 pieces.. this could hurt the disk performance

How do i set up the MFT in diskeeper?
