Yes I think it was a 250 gb just shows up as 228 gb. Did run CCcleaner before I installed but did not reboot before the defrag. I also keep an eye on my startup items and items running thru...

as I mentioned in my previous post, certain defrag strategies can take much longer than others. It all depends on what the program intends on accomplishing.

I should have been up to date. And had run Win XP defrag about 3 to 4 weeks ago.

As mentioned, I don't know the program, but 2 1/2 hours does sound extreme for any defragger, given your circumstances. Check your PM's. I sent you a message.

Just downloaded and installed Pirform Defraggler Seemed to be highly rated. Regular win xp defragging takes me about 2 hours every month. This looks like it will take 14 hours for my 228 GB...

That's probably because it isn't actually doing anything (that would be my guess). Defraggler has helped us a lot in situations where the built-in defrag isn't getting the job done. Do you have the...

OK, well, there would have been no need to reboot, so no problem there. You already know 2 of the potential problems that slow down a defrag program, and the 3rd one that comes to mind is if the...

I would tend to think so, given that we have now established that the OP's hard drive is good and healthy and not very full. If not, I can only think of two possibilities. Either he still has a ton...

I'm guessing that's part of the issue. It's also possible that the algorithm for reorganization on defraggler could be completely different than the last program you used, so it wants to move...

longer defrag may be due to how the program is defragging. The simplest defrag process merely connects files together that have been fragmented, but doesn't pay any attention to where the files are...

The estimator could be completely wrong, try running it and see how long it actually takes. You might also take a look at the SMART readings of the HD. It might be on its way out

I use smart defrag, and it's better. http://download.cnet.com/Smart-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10759533.html It runs in the background and automatically defrags when your PC is idle.

I haven't use that program, but I would 'guess' that if the machine has been in production for a year or two and a defrag never run -- it would at first flag that it would take quite a while --...

I'd say so, some files can't be moved for various reasons. On the files tab you can see which files are fragmented, how large they are, and how many fragments they have. I'd look at that and sort by...

Did you say 228 gig hard drive? Might it be a 250? If it takes that long, there are a couple of possibilities. Most likely you have so much app data that needs to be cleaned up (deleted) that the...
