The so-called "official" defragger for NT is called Diskeeper, by Executive Software. There is a freeware version called Diskeeper Lite, and a full version for $39.95. See the website.....http://www.execsoft.com

>>how do you perform a scan disk or defrag on NT4 Scan disk isn't essentially different from Win 95. Right click the disk in Explorer, click properties, select tools, and you will find a scan disk. Thats one way. BTW: You generally have to reboot to perform a checkdsk and correct errors.... I handle this using the NT scheduler service. I rebooted my PDC once a week on Sat at 4:00 AM. Here's an example of how to do it with a batch file.... @echo off echo y \| chkdsk c: /f echo y \| chkdsk d: /f echo y \| chkdsk e: /f echo y \| chkdsk f: /f net send /domain:NETMEDIA NT Domain Controller QCONTINUUM rebooting in 2 minutes shutdown /r /t:120 /l "NT Domain Controller QCONTINUUM rebooting in 2 minutes" /y The Shutdown utility is part of the NT resource Kit.... If anyone knows how to do this without rebooting I would love to know.... Diskkeeper 3.0 is the disk defragmenter you want. Its made by Executive software. execsoft.com I beleive.... Sean
