Of course there is. The Win98 is based on some Intel technology, while the Win2000 one is based on Diskeeper. Also, the Win2000 does NTFS.

Defrag in 2000 is much better, as MS got a better version (Diskeeper) then they did for 95 (Norton, Intel crap added later). The 2000 one won't restart when you breathe on the keyboard, and does a better job of overall optimization instead of just throwing the files to the begining of the disk.

For Windows 2000, O&O Defrag 2000 is a good defragmenter. It's what I'm using right now. For Win98, Vopt99/VoptME is good. It was what I used before I made the change to Win2K.

I got a question under this topic. Whats a good defrag solution under windows2000 for a fat32 partition. diskeeper lite (win2k built in) doesn't do a very good job. It makes it worst when i'm in winME.

Ontrack's Fix-It Utilities works great under all three. I was never a fan of that Norton crap so don't shy away for FIU thinking it is anything like that.
