    Lol, tough nut to crack. Maybe this is all because your filesystem is live? I myself use MyDefrag offline (I boot WinPE,) but I always thought it was good enough to defrag the MFT on a live disk
    I agree. It should be rebooted and then repair. Contig.exe isn't going to do that. I myself like defraggler. It reboots and defrags the pagefile.

    Hi folks. I will be releasing a script library for MyDefrag that may be of interest.
    It's quite powerful and will be fully in the background one that feature is added.
    It's called TaylorDo Disk Optimizer. You can find the beat release here:

    https://github.com/DHorse2/TaylorDo

    It's an open source project if anyone wants to get involved.

    BTW I have no problems placing and fully defragging the MFT however there are a few system files that can be very problematic, the $??? directories included. On a full disk it can create a real mess that prevents proper volume management. I am added
    commands to address this as well but it can alter user's settings.

    I can only guarantee that this product works on Vista and above based on the MyDefrag documentation and it's use of the new Windows API. Can someone let me know if XP runs MyDefrag?

    MyDefrag was originally designed for Win 2000, Win XP or
    worse(as JKDefrag)..
    I use v4.3.1 on my XP system with a larger "gap" than the
    default. I also added some very large data files to the "System Disk
    Monthly" script so they will be placed "last".
