you got it sure do.. I have just started using perfect disk for xp as my disk defragger, over nortons speedisk, I was using speedisk instead of using the standard windows defragger. After all of my computer friends and myself complaing that no matter how many times you run speedisk back to back, it never seems to be any better really. So I have been using perfect disk now for only about 1 week, but one thing is for sure i notice faster disk access all the way around. Like I said I haven't really experimented with it yet, but believe that it will also do a disk defrag on the system reboot so it can control the entire disk and not have windows butting in during defragging. hth p.s. i don't run scan disk or nortons replacement for scandisk very often at all, only if the disk wont defrag and its telling me there is an error of some sort..
