Download PerfectDisk 8.0 build 66

Raxco Software has released an update of its defragmenting software PerfectDisk. This program reorganizes the location and order of the files on the hard drive so that they can be accessed faster. This results in faster program launches and faster PC boot times. PerfectDisk is suitable for Windows 2000 and higher, for both the 32- and 64-bit, and Itanium variants. An evaluation version is available from this page can be downloaded, can be upgraded from here. Prices start at forty dollars. The version 8.0 build 66 changelog shows the following bug fixes:

PerfectDisk Command Center

• Setting License Key Wizard in non-wizard mode (Tab Mode) did not work correctly. This has been fixed.
• We corrected a bug in thread pool on console which could have caused the Console to crash in high activity conditions.

PerfectDisk Client

• When Bitlocker was enabled, boot time defrag passes would abort since bitlocker prevented updating certain files. PerfectDisk has worked around this issue.
• We corrected a bug in memory allocation when performing boot-time defrag passes on X64 processors.
• We changed the boot-time defrag Verify stage to allow the bad cluster file to point to cluster which do not reside on the disk. This can occur if the volume was resized after bad clusters where identified.
• PerfectDisk will no longer display drives which cannot be defragmented. We will only display fixed drives formatted NTFS, FAT, or FAT32.
• We corrected a bug in the file exclusion enumeration. In earlier versions we would have attempted to move files in the System Volume Information folder even though they were excluded. This was do to the fact that these files did not allow the LocalSystem account to open them so the name could be converted to a File ID. This bug has been corrected.
