Customer Reviews of Diskeeper 10 Professional - 1 User

Diskeeper 10 is a Ten in my Book
I am so happy that I purchased Diskeeper 10. It runs in the background and I am totally defragged in 27 minutes instead of 3 to 4 hours with other products that I used. The 'Set It and Forget It' feature is fantastic. It does just that - you set it up as to when you may want to defrag or set it at 'continuous' and it does it while you work. Your first defrag will take awhile but thereafter its' a breeze. Don't be put off by FragShield. I called Diskeeper after reading the problem that one reviewer had and they fully explained what it was and said if I decide to use it and am not sure of what to do, just call them back. You can also follow the procedure outlined by Scott L. Sutherland, one of the other reviewers.

Diskeeper PRO 10 is GREAT! Procedure...
I am a software tech (28 years). <
>PRINT THIS COMPLEX PROCEDURE OUT!- Well worth the trouble, and fun (for me)! <
> <
>Pre note!- The other reviewer that had trouble with the MFT, should have done it "exactly" by my following procedure (never had any problems)! <
> <
>DK (DisKeeper Pro 10) PERFORMANCE GAINS ARE AWESOME!!! <
>I do have one complaint (kinda :o) ), with DK- <
>My old "maxed out" computer WAS getting slow, and I rationalized getting a fast new 64 bit computer (DK works with 64 bit, also)! I tested DK as a last resort? <
>Now my old computer does !EVERYTHING SOOO FAST!!! <
>I can now wait for the new Intel Conroe CPU chip, and prices to go down...!- <
>I recommend the High-End... "DELL's are Swell" (Gold Support only!), for most users! <
> <
>DK is a VERY advanced, program that runs automatically (lowest priority), only when the computer is idle. <
>Once set it automatically defrags your computer (set and forget). <
>DK's Manual defrags... are much faster than XP's (once initially setup properly)! <
>ALL applications, start & run SO MUCH FASTER!!! <
> <
>I tested... with DK for several weeks, to figure out the optimum install/settings...! <
>I'll share these secrets with you, for only $69.95 + S&H (just funning you!)! <
> <
>IMPORTANT NOTES!- <
>a. No matter what you are doing...! ALWAYS wait for your HD (Hard Drive) light to stop blinking! <
>b. Always RESTART, after EVERY install/uninstall... (XP loves restarts!)! <
> 1. Just because ANY application... says that it is finished/Restart Now...- it has not written the final values to the registry... yet! SLOW DOWN, and you'll se the HD light blink! <
>c. Some of these DK processes are VERY VERY slow (only initially). <
>Whatever you do, don't interrupt... (or do anything else...!) during ANY of them! <
>BE VERY PATIENT, or you'll be sorry! <
>d. Start this DK procedure... EARLY (2 hrs+, first time only), then FAST & automatic defrags...! <
> <
>~~~ <
>DK Procedure...- <
> <
>1. Backup your "critical..." files... to an external source (I didn't have any problems (6 computers), but you never know!?)). <
>a. I use Acronis 9, "full image backup", to a WD external HD. Acronis 9 is fast & works GREAT for me & my clients (See my amazon.com... review, for details...!)! <
> <
>2. DISABLE/Never...!- any screensavers, standby, hibernate, Turn Off monitor/disk, battery mode, ...! <
> a. Disable/uninstall... Norton GoBack, and Norton Ghost (incompatible!)!!! <
> <
>3. Do an XP disk error check/chkdsk... (all drives), restart again. <
>a. Defrag & restart, on C drive only. <
> <
>4. Install DK in "Startup Groups Disabled" mode (for that matter- Use this for ALL program installs. Ever see that MS warning to disable all running pgms? This is the easier/safe way!)- <
>a. Start, Run, put " msconfig " in box, Selective Startup, remove check from " Load Startup Items " (You may have to open the Startup folder, and check your 3d party firewall, only?), Apply, Close, Restart Now, OK, Cancel. <
> <
>5. Now go back into Normal Startup. <
>a. Start, Run, " msconfig ", dot in "Normal Startup", Apply, Close, restart. <
> 1. Disableable internet, if not already. <
> <
>6. Open DK..., and optimize the size of your MFT's (Master File Table index's). <
>a. Click on the 3 colored gears icon, Frag Shield..., Edit, dots... in configure MFT using their optimal recommendations- on ALL drives... ) <
>Note!- NEVER optimize MFT in "Normal Startup" mode, or you'll be sorry! <
> 1. This took an hour+ on my 40gig HD laptop, and 45 min+ on my 3ghz, 2x40gig HD desktop! <
> 2. Slow line, after line, of stars..., is NORMAL! <
> 3. Note from DK!- MFT optimizing can take HOURS on large volumes! Do not interrupt...! <
>Whatever you do, don't interrupt, or do ANYTHING else..., during ALL DK operations...! <
>b. Restart... (always wait for HD lights!). <
> <
>7. Now you MUST do a Boot Defrag, for new MFT settings to take effect (Only once, after any MFT change (External HD... too). <
>a. Click the icon to the left of the 3 gear icon, "on next manual reboot", checks in all boxes... <
>Restart... <
> <
>8. Now you need to do a manual I-FAAST, to optimize your files starting order (WOW!). <
> (Somewhere in here it tells you what % performance will be gained by...- No matter what %, DO IT!) <
>a. Highlight C drive, click on the I-FAAST icon (2 to the left of 3 gear icon). Set day/times to run NOW... <
>b. This will automatically run, only while you are idle! <
>Close DK, do nothing (idle) & wait for 10 minutes. <
>c. Highlight C drive, and Defragment (Defrag should be slower, this time. Wait 30 seconds for registry..., after ALL defrags)! <
>Restart. <
>d. Open DK, highlight & defrag all your slave HD's. <
> Restart. <
> <
>9. Open DK, highlight C, and click on "Set it and Forget it" (lower left column). <
>a. Click on options 1, 3 & 4 (skip 2). <
>Put checks in enable boxes..., set times... ( I set #4 (I-FAAST), day/times... to daily... (DK learning curve- just keeps getting faster!). <
>Restart. <
>DONE! <
> <
>ENJOY! <
>Scott :o) <
