Good defragger for Windows ME & 98?

Hello. I use to be a fan of Norton's Speed Disk for FAT and FAT32 partitions, but I have to reformat a PC that had ME and Norton Utilities 2002. I have had it up to here with Symantec's bloatware with Live Update and such. I will admit that I run their 2003 Anti-Virus programs on a number of PC's with no problems, but it seems that if I also add the utility programs, then problems seem to slowly develope with their updates or something. I use Diskeeper on my Win2K and XP computers, but it seems so slow with Fat32 partitions compared to Speed Disk, and Window's Defrag partition is you know what, or else there would not be a need for third party defraggers. So is there something else that is a better all-around defragger? I use ME for old games. We have too many old games that will simply not work with XP. Even with the compatibility modes.

Same situation as me with the kids games. I'm using PrefectDisk 2000. Maybe you should give it a try?

pointreyes The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march. Join Date: Feb 2001 Posts: 18,159	Same situation as me with the kids games. I'm using PrefectDisk 2000. Maybe you should give it a try? __________________
