Hi All,

I had purchased Diskeeper before I had decided to run my M$ WS03 as a virtual machine. Does Diskeeper do any good on a virtual hard drive?

Many thanks,

Yes and no.

If you created your VDI as fixed size, then yes.

If you created your VDI as Dynamic (the default), then not as much: you must also periodically sdelete/clonehd/compact/contig* the VDI file as well so that the host VDI file is defraged
(*) Or something.
