1.Vista compat. 2. Works with over 1TB

I have Diskeeper 2008 which does NOT work on large drives (over 1TB). The
new Diskeeper does, but I don't want to pay their ridiculous prices again,
now with add-ons. (yes, I have a lot of files on my Vista box) So, I need:

1.Vista compat.
2. Works with over 1TB

Is there ANYTHING good out there? Please don't tell me to use MS
defragmenter.
Tks.

Considering using a dedicated, robust defragmenter:

This may be one of your choices:

and this another one, being part of the tweak:

see if one of them suits you.

What do you mean by 'dedicated' and 'robust'?

Another option would be to switch to Linux and forget defragmentation
altogether.

JkDefrag if you're looking for a free option; otherwise PerfectDisk is a
good choice.

The same reason they make registry "fixers" for Windows: snake oil.

Because of this:
"PerfectDisk Live is a subscription that is not a Raxco supported product.
For this reason, Raxco does not have access to your billing or account
information. Raxco has received numerous inquiries regarding this
subscription and we understand the reason for the confusion."
So, how do they get my information??

I have run Ubuntu and it's fun. However, it has a small software base and I
need to get work done.

Sure as hell does. The only one I can find is for ext2, minix, and xiafs
- which hardly anyone uses. Been running Linux for nearly 10 years now -
total number of defragments: zero.
