Windows xp disable background defragmentation


















For example, Windows Vista and Windows 7 both have a built-in defragmenter which is scheduled to run automatically. To turn off the built-in Windows defragmenter, go to the Start menu and type " defrag " into the search box, and open Disk Defragmenter.

You therefore really do not need to disable defrag for Solid State Drives in Windows 8. Is there any way to disable this behavior? It will make this HD die a lot earlier if it just keeps defragging non stop when I leave it on.

Maybe some more knowledgeable people will come in and help you. Yeah, thanks for all your help. Oct 30, 0 0. It won't make the older driver die a premature death. The optimization routines, which occur in a "relaxed" manner, will make that hard drive's work load under stress at boot time and during application loads MUCH easier because the optimized prefetch routines mean that the heads won't have to rattle all over the place to load stuff.

The optimization routines also mean that your boot times and application start times will gradually improve over time, though the change might not be very noticeable on many systems. There is actually somewhat of a trade-off between application prefetch time and OS boot time as prefetching commonly used application loaders can cause boot times to increase slightly. But it also can markedly increase the speed with which commonly used applications will start. This is especially true of applications like Office.

The above musings assume that you have some more-or-less routine ways in which you use the system. If you use the machine in radically different and random ways between sessions then, I suppose, the optimization routines might not be so advantageous for you. If you really wish to disable the behavior you can do so through direct registry editing or through use of a utility like Xteq's X-Setup. Even if you turn off Prefetching you will likely see some activity of the hard drive at idle time -- on any drive with one or more NTFS partitions.

That would be journaling at work. PixelDude , May 3, I think in services, one you were looking for is task manager, change from automatic to manuel. I believe thats was one that causing auto defragging if its on automatic.

Jem , May 5, You can disable "AutoLayout" and "Background disk defragmentation". But then it's more important that you remember to run the disk defragmentation your self. Animatrix , May 5, In older file system architectures, if a file could not be stored contiguously, it could not be saved to the disk. Newer architectures intentionally divide files into multiple pieces so as to make more efficient use of disk storage space.

Since files are constantly being written, deleted, and resized, fragmentation is a natural and ongoing occurrence. However, it is also one that has significant performance implications. When a file is spread out over several locations, it takes longer to read and write.
