That NT isn't "prone" to fragmentation is the old MS line - but even MS now admits it happens. In addition, NT 5.0 will include a version of DiskKeeper built in. That shows me two points: 1. Even NT becomes fragmented (and it does), and MS recognizes this; and, 2. NT may not officially support DiskKeeper, but it thinks highly enough of it to include it in NT 5.0. -- Frank GoBell sconnell@deletethis.dipix.com wrote in message <35d7617f.397010657@news.magmacom.com>... >Thank you for the recommendations folks! > >It appears that Diskeeper from Executive Software is the way to go! > >Now, can someone tell me why...when I called MS support on Friday, I >was tolded that MS didn't support any third party tools like >DiskKeeper.
