what happens when you use the vista defrag utility?

well, O&O is most likely using a different algorithm than Vista; I know that when I used norton and it would say 10% fragmented, then checked with XP and it said 80 fragmented. So I would choose one and stick with it. You will most likely need to get a patch for O&O to run with Vista, but I am not entirely sure on that, as I don't fly vista.

were it up to me, I'd stick with the vista defrag tool until the dust clears.
