WIGHTA This is wonderful ! I am amazed that using the 2.0.0 beta 2, I can now do a full defrag of my startup volume from that startup volume. You should definitely do the disk errors check option in iDefrag, off the Defragment menu---both before & after doing the defrag. Also set your Energy Saver options for both computer & screen to Never Sleep before opening iDefrag. My 2007 MacMini, new in Jan. 2009, has about 500,000 files on it taking up 30 GB of 74 GB available hard drive space. It is under 10.5.8 and has 2 GB of RAM and 1.83 GHz processor. The default Full Defrag took my system about 2.5 hours---which seems reasonable to me---and went smoothly without incident. Obviously, do NOT use this beta software unless you know you have a good full backup of your system first.
