Vista Defrag only defrags c:\ drive

    From what I can see, this Vista Defrag will only defrag c:\ drive. What
    about all of the other data drives?

    I agree with all of the others. With no way to verify, or manually select,
    the individual drives I can see where we will be having data loss without
    even seeing any warnings.

    Isn't there a way to open a Management Control Panel for some kind of
    control over this "foolproof" application?

    Thanks

    The defragging application will defrag any non-removable drives
    automatically.

    Windows Vista SP1 allows you to manually select specific partitions or
    drives.

    You could also use Windows Vista's command line disk defragmenter.

    You need to select manually the drives you want to defrag and one at a time only. If
    you have as an example 3 drives (2 internal 1 external even if it is flash drive)
    then you need to use defrag 3 times selecting another drive each time
