Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Diskeeper 2008 Professional edition puts your system in the driver's seat, allowing you to enjoy unprecedented performance and reliability while you work. Fragmented hard drives drain critical system resources and compromise almost every aspect of daily computer use, leading to longer load times and persistent lags. Diskeeper 2008 elevates system performance, debugging fragmentation-based problems as they occur without ever compromising vital system resources, even during times of heaviest demand. InvisiTasking provides true transparent, background processing technology allowing for Diskeeper 2008 to defragment your computer in real-time, eliminating the need for cumbersome maintenance operations. Diskeeper 2008 Professional edition enhances the reliability and performance of your computer automatically. Now, more than ever, it is important to have a system that is reliable and performs at the peak of its ability. Simply install Diskeeper 2008 and your computer will run more reliably than it ever has before. Real-time defragmentation automatically handles fragmentation as it occurs, providing maximum system performance at all times. Diskeeper's logic controller has been re-designed to deliver performance benefits faster and more efficiently, which detects various volume and system conditions and chooses the most effective algorithm. Boot-Time Mode safely performs Microsoft-recommended defragmentation of critical system files.

Rating: - made my disk run better but i will never use boot defrag
I have xp media center with service pack 3. it made my computer run better but after reading other reviews, I would not use boot defrag..
most programs made to help your computer run better make your computer crash or not run right, even some program from microsoft.

Rating: - I/O errors on external drive.
I started having I/O errors on my WD external drive during bootup. I'm running Windows XP with SP2. I thought that the hard drive was failing. I decided to uninstall diskkepper, low and behold, the problem is fixed. So I trashed the program.

Rating: - I like this disk defragmenting program
I tried using the Vista built-in defrag utility, but it can't compare to Diskeeper. This utility runs in the background and defrags while the system is idle, so I don't have to leave the computer on at night to run the defragmenting program. Unlike the built-in utility, the program will tell you everything that is going on and allows you to configure the process. I tried the product out from the Diskeeper trial download site, but ended up purchasing it from Amazon for less $$$.
