![]() If defragging your boot drive, you would need to do this off the disc and not the installed application should you have previously installed it. In the maintenance section you have available the ability to defragment either your boot drive or any of your externals. The whole interface of Drive Genius 2 is plain cool to look at even when running any of the different tools.ĭespite current popular believe, hard drives can get fragmented as files grow and shrink. Should you launch a particular tool, a new window opens up allowing you to specify the hard drive you want to work on. Bringing your mouse over any of the icons brings it quickly forward with the icons name. There are two pages of possible tools divided into the 3 categories of maintenance, management and optimization. When first installed, either off the Drive Genius 2 DVD, or directly off your hard drive, a unique, graphical, animated interface comes up. Prosoft's Drive Genius 2 is like a Swiss Army knife of maintenance tools which comes equipped not only to more efficiently maintain your hard drives but also to provide management and optimization tools. At the same time, this maintenance can speed up your computer making things run more efficiently. By regular hard drive maintenance, you protect your disc from failing and losing important data. No longer is this as necessary as it was but your data is really only as safe as the condition of your hard drive and while the regular use of the Disc Utility found in your Applications/Utility folder keeps things in good working condition, a more complete and powerful tool may be in order. ![]() I recall the days of the G3, and earlier, when I would defrag the hard drive every other week and the time it took to do that.
