If you want free, you might be stuck with Windows Disk Defragmenter.

In all honesty, spend the loot for Diskeeper, there's just about nothing better out there.

My first suggestion to you is the same as stools. An investment in Diskeeper would be a sensible purchase =)

BUT, if you must have a free one, Diskeeper 7 is free, although it is obviously not as powerful or full featured as the retail Diskeeper 10 (or 9 in your case) is. Diskeeper 7 lacks the "set it and forget it" feature and also lacks boot time defragmentation (along with other features). It also comes up with a pop-up every so often letting you know how defragmented your drive is, but to be honest, it is not really that annoying.

Haven't tried DK 10, but O&O does a better job than DK9 on all my machines for sure. I dunno, it could vary, maybe.

If you're gonna stay with the defragmentation utility that comes with Windows, at least do yourself a favor by downloading PageDefrag.
It's free:

Put me in the diskkeeper fan club too. I've never tried O & O but diskkeeper has worked quite well for me.
