Checkdisk and Defrag feature

[mbox]

Hey guys,

I was just thinking that it would be cool to have a checkdisk and defrag option, maybe under the system tab. It should be a way of scheduling a checkdisk and then run a defrag.

I know this system is primarily used as a pvr, so a defrag feature would be awesome if it were included within gbpvr. I know its easy enough to do through windows, but it will make gbpvr stand out more.

Search the forums for contig.exe it's a file defrag utility. I call it in PostProcessing.bat to defrag the last recording and the comskip logs etc. Keeps my recording drive defragged 100% and I have found it to work well.

I use a batch program on all my windows machines which automatically runs a disk cleaning, spyware removal, registry cleaning, check disk, and defrag. It has options for virus scanning, boot file defrag, and reboot, but I don't normally run them.

I basically 'set-it and forget-it' using the windows scheduler. I guess GBPVR could be used for manually launching this batch maintenance program but I just don't see much value in using it manually. I'm lazy and forgetful so automatic scheduling is better and plus I use the same setup on machines which don't have gbpvr at home and work.

No sweat, enjoy.
