defrag boot files? and whats mft...

 

[Dark Atheist]

see my previous post - defrag c: /b - mft = Master File Table, although it shouldn't get fragmented there have been cases where it has, some people would say to defrag the registry too, that is if you have been installing and un-installing a lot of programs

 

[Not Bman]

I used CCleaner to clean my registry and other things.

So your saying just do a normal defrag? Alrighty then! lol

 

[Dark Atheist]

yes the /b just tells it to move the boot files to the front of the drive - it doesn't do any other files

 

[Not Bman]

I'm sorry, how are you expecting me to defrag? With what program, how do I tell it to move the boot files to the front of the drive?

 

[Dark Atheist]

at the command prompt

c:\windows\system32>defrag c: /b

 

[Not Bman]

Alright I will do that.

I just ran Bootvis and this is what I get....so what does this mean and what can I do with it?

 

[Dark Atheist]

The category you want to look at (but you have it unchecked) is boot activity.​

 

[Not Bman]

I checked boot activity and there is nothing on the chart.

I think you have to have it checked before you run the trace.
