i like to use executive software diskeeper. i've had it for a long time now and i use it on both my computers. works like a charm with a good display of fragmented vs not fragmented, etc.

i think i'm gonna defrag it like 10 times so all the fragments left when its done will get unfragmented

i would highly recommend this program, it's options include a scheduled defrag as well as real-time (idle) defrag, and it gets the job done every time if there are no bad sectors and with 20-25% free space it will completely defrag (and pending your swap file is on a separate drive)

it will also take a much longer time to defrag if the disk is nearly full, around 10-15% free space or less, depending on the program you're using to do the job.
