How to Defrag Multiple Hard Drives At Once

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to Windows Reference RSS feed Thanks for visiting!

The Disk Defragment utility in Windows XP does not include a way to defragment all hard drives at the same time, which is inconvenient when you have more than one hard drive in your computer.

The method we are going to use is by creating a batch file to defragment all of the drives, one after the other.

Solution 1

The disk defrag utility in Windows XP can be triggered from the command line with the following syntax

Windows Disk Defragmenter

Usage:
defrag <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
volume drive letter or mount point (d: or d:volmountpoint)
-a Analyze only
-f Force defragmentation even if free space is low
-v Verbose output

For each hard drive, add a line to the batch file. For instance, if we want to defragment drives C: , D: , and F: we will add these three lines:

defrag c: -f
defrag d: -f
defrag f: -f

To run the defrag, just either double-click on the batch file or start it from the command line.

For Each d in dc
If d.DriveType = 2 Then
Return = WshShell.Run(”defrag ” & d & ” -f”, 1, TRUE)
End If
