Hi Folks.
This Monday September 06, 1999 I just tested the new Diskeeper 5.0 Server on my Windows NT4 SP5 and it runs simply fantastic. In few minutes I optimized my <C> partition, formated in FAT where my NT4 SP5 resides.

Diskeeper 5.0 Has Arrived

Folks, I downloaded the trial copies from Executive Software web site in order to test the Server and the Workstation versions on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 (aka NT 5.0) and on Windows NT4 SP5. When I installedthe Server version on my Windows NT4 SP5 Server I received a banner alerting me that Diskeeper 5.0 don't support the NTFS volume I have in drive <K> because Diskeeper 5.0 cab supports only NTFS voljmes created and formated by Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0!!! Well, in principle I was scared and cannot perceive that is occurring because I created this volume just with my NT 4.0 Server! I analysed the possibilities and I discovered that Windows 2000 is the guilty! The problem was last week I booted my test machine from Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 (Workstation) and accessed the other HDD where my Windows NT4 SP5 resides in order to transfer files from my old IDE to my new IDE. When I accessed the HDD Windows 2000 without any ask, without any banner, simply converted the NTFS volume called drive <K> in a volume formated in NTFS5, file system that Diskeeper 5.0 can't support. Yeahh, here is the problem! I simply forgot that Windows 2000 make this conversion automatically! I solved quickly the problem booting from Windows 2000 once again and reformating the volume <K> in FAT!
Man, I optimized all drives in my Widows NT4 SP5 with this fine new release and, sincerely, the performance is simply fantastic! Are you seeking for absolute tranquility on Windows NT 4.0? Use Diskeeper 5.0!

Diskeeper Overview

Two versions of Diskeeper are available—one for Windows NT Server, and one for Windows NT Workstation and Windows 95/98. The Windows NT Server version defragments local and network disk volumes, while the other version defragments local volumes only. For more information on Windows versions supported, click here.
Diskeeper for Windows NT Server can be installed and run on Windows NT Workstations, allowing you to control defragmentation of the disk volumes on all the computers in your network from a single computer, either Server or Workstation.
On Windows NT systems, the new Diskeeper Frag Guard feature can be activated to prevent MFT and paging file fragmentation online and to provide an automatic boot-time defragmentation option.
Diskeeper relies on both the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) and the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), both of which are available for Windows 95 and Windows 98. DCOM is built into Windows NT. Click here for more information about DCOM and the MMC. Note: Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher must also be installed on your computer for MMC operation.
With Diskeeper, you can analyze the fragmentation on a volume (with a graphic display or text report view), as well as defragment the volume.
More than one analysis or defragmentation operation can be performed at a time. You can analyze or defragment disk volumes independently of each other.
When running Diskeeper in the on-line mode, you can run other tasks while defragmentation is occurring.
When Diskeeper runs at higher priority levels, performance of other active processes will usually be affected.
When Diskeeper runs at lower priority levels, defragmentation may take longer, since Diskeeper "backs off" for higher-priority processes, including screen savers.
In the on-line mode, Diskeeper runs as a Windows Service and it optionally logs useful defragmentation information into either the Windows NT Application Event Log (under Windows NT) or to a text file (under Windows 95/98).
Diskeeper can be uninstalled in the standard manner using the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Windows Control Panel. Click here for information about uninstalling Diskeeper.
In its on-line, Set It and Forget It and Manual Defragmentation modes, Diskeeper does not defragment files on NTFS volumes with a cluster size greater than 4K (4096 bytes) in size. This is due to limits built into Windows NT.
You must be logged into an account that is a member of the Administrators group to run Diskeeper on Windows NT Server and Windows NT Workstation systems.
