Diskeeper 9.......FREE?

[oatman]

Diskeeper 9 and Backup Now 4. I found this on PcPitstop for all you Diskeeper fans:

"Diskeeper Lite 9! To get it you need to download the full version (89MB) of Intel Desktop Utilities. Once downloaded, run the exe to unzip its contents into a folder of your choice. In the directory tree created you will find these folders: .../3rdparty/Diskeeper/ and .../3rdpartyDiskeeper.64/. Works great and the new Performance tab is excellent. In the Readme_EN.txt and in the License Agreement I didn't find any rules prohibiting downloading and using this program (on a single computer), therefore I am assuming there aren't any."

It won't install on my laptop but some of you will be able to use these.

Nice one Oatman, tried installing the whole thing only to remember I didn't have an Intel M/B which annoyed the installer somewhat. Installed Diskeeper from the subdir and it is now happily defragging my whole drive - which was recently defragged by the built in XP utility and given a clean bill of health.

Good job ......I tried various ways to install but it didn't want to know. Might have another look later

Hi Oatman,
this sounds like another one of your great finds!
Just for a cautious operator like myself, are you suggesting downloading the whole Intel thing and then extracting just the diskeeper parts, then deleting all the rest afterwards. If so could you suggest a foolproof method for a fool such as myself?
Obviously I'll be creating a restore point beforehand - I'm not that foolish - I was once but no more!
I have a Toshie P30 with an Intel HT thingy btw.
Cheers

Download all of it then follow the instructions in my first post and only install Diskeeper. As you say, make a Restore Point first, and you should be OK. I haven't installed it. I'm getting error messages.

If you haven't an intel chip you can still get a 15 day trial of Disckeeper 10 at http://www.diskeepereurope.com/en/01_ho/xhtml/trynow.htm. Mine's running happily now on my amd chip.
