Diskeeper on Vista Ultimate

[Guest Pete]

Does anyone have experience running Diskeeper Pro PREMIER on at least a 1TB

Vista system? I've read their literature, but perfer to hear actual

experience.

I have been running diskeeper 2007 version 11.0.709.0 on my Vista 64 bit

Home Premium, it runs without any problems. It is the professional version,

as you say.

Yes. I have a 1TG data drive that I just got through reconfiguring and

Diskeeper Pro got it back in shape for me. I had removed nearly 400GB of

data files from it and was not getting back anything like 400GB of

additional free space as reported in Explorer. I emptied the recycle bin

and defragged with DK11 and in a couple of hours Explorer was showing the

correct amount of white space. It works extremely well on both of my Vista

Ultimate x64 boxes, one with the 1TB data drive and one with a 750GB data

drive. It works equally well on my external drives, both usb and eSATA

connected.

I use Diskeeper 2008 Pro running in background defrag mode on 32-bit Vista Home premium (160 GB drive) and XP Pro/SP2 ( total 1.5 TB), and it manages the drives beautifully. Fragmentation is minimal whenever I check the GUI.

Diskeeper should run fine in X64 too according to their website.

Defragging does not increase the amount of free disk space...emptying

the recyc. bin does, natch.

No but it can correct misreported free space. I have seen it work that way

a few times on my systems.
