Or one could move to a modern filesystem which does not need
defragmenting and obviate the entire process.

modern as in linux that is 20 years old? lol

You have to remember that the linux guys still use FAT32 (note 1) when they
use windows and that did need defragging.
NTFS does not need to be defragged but like all disk based systems,
including the latest linux ones, benefit from optimisation which is what the
vista defragger does in the background.

Note 1: most linux users use FAT32 for windows support because Linux can't
reliably handle NTFS and they get problems using NTFS. This suits them
anyway as it perpetuates their *erroneous* belief that you have to defrag
windows but not linux.

Anyway to the OP and anyone that wants to defrag Vista, just let Vista do
its work in the background and forget about all the fancy displays, etc. it
works fine. The add on utils will show fragmentation but that is because
vista doesn't move stuff if it is not going to see an improvement in
performance so it still leaves some files in "fragments" just like the linux
file systems do.

hello, you are believing in a myth postulated by microsoft when they made
NT, but was fast to backpedal it very fast because the whole world was
laughing...

NTFS needs defrag... you can do some serious reasearch although the web is
contaminated by misinformation still floating around from back then...

You are just spreading FUD.
Name one occasion where NTFS has had to be defragged.
Its like *all* disk based file systems.. you can make it faster by
optimisation.. commonly referred to as defrag by those that don't
understand.
FAT has problems allocating space if you let it fragment too much and does
need defragging, but it is a very old file system.
You can run NTFS systems for years without defragging just like you can run
Linux systems.

You CAN run an NTFS system for years without defrag. However,
it will be fragmented. Just yesterday I worked on a system that was
4+ years old and had never been defragmented. The fragmentation
level was severe. You cannot get around the physics of a hard drive.

I know this is a vista nG. But if you go into your (NTFS) XP

Start>> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Disk Defragmenter

and click the 'Analyse' button, you will get many indices of disk
fragmentation, as provided by the built-in MS defragmenter.

I guess they do not understand the difference between 'fragmentation'
and 'optimisation'. Silly them!

Duh! So MickeyMouse has introduced silent background defragging in Vista of
NTFS volumes for no reason at all, other than to create wear and tear on
your hard drive? Either Microsoft is just doing it to fuk the end-user or
it believes that defragging is NECESSARY with the NTFS filesystem. Which is
it oh smart one?

Cheers.

I'm afraid you are wrong there. Linus Torvalds did not even start work on
Linux until 1991. Unless my math skills have completely deteriorated,
1991 + 20 = 2011 - and it's only 2008 now!

Why is that? I use, and most other folks I know use, ntfs-3g to read and
write NTFS systems with no difficulty - which, according to many recent
discussions still needs to be regularly defragmented - or else why would
everyone still be doing it?

That my friend, is B.S. Linux has been properly reading and writing NTFS
for some time now - despite the fact that MS has never released proper
docomentation. Indeed a marvel of reverse engineering.

That's fine except that modern Linux systems do not use the file systems
that were around 20 years ago.
