Help me plead my case :)
I had an exam today in my software class (uses this book) and one of the questions were:
in which order should you perform optimization in Windows...
1st ____
2nd ____
3rd ____
a: defrag
b: disk cleanup/ccleaner
c: chkdsk
===============================================
I chose, B - C - A
Cleanupand apparently the answer was B - A - C
Chkdsk /r
Defrag
Cleanup(according to the book (poor reading retention on my part) and also the instructor told us a story of how long it took chkdsk to finish once because the drive was so fragmented).
Defrag
Chkdsk /r
I submit, why would you chance defrag writing to a bad sector? also, I remember in XP if the drive was fragmented bad enough you were forced to run chkdsk anyhow. So, what does everyone else think?
