Answer» Hi all , I have an HP Pavillion dv2000 running xp. I'm using disk keeper lite to do my defrag and just finished my c drive.

The file sys is Fat32 Capacity is 12,033 mb free space is 1,418 mb % free space is 11% Why does the c drive need to be defraged so often? It seems right after you do a defrag a few minutes later it needs it again. lol Quote Capacity is 12,033 mb free space is 1,418 mb % free space is 11% On C, or D? There is no reason to touch D drive at all. It's not used by your computer whatsoever.D drive should be left alone, in case you need to recover system with the HP restore system. For defragging drive, you are writing to the hard drive EVERY time you are doing something, so it seems and things get fragmented So.... I should LEAVE drive "D" alone? lol I HEAR YOU LOUD N CLEAR. well, don't come complaining to me if you somehow need to or want to restore computer to START from scratch, don't have an windows cd handy and the D drive partition restore system isn't FUNCTIONING right I think diskeeper handles the auto defrag just fine, I use it on my windows vista machine I have and seriously, that recovery partition isn't supposed to take up so much space anyway.
