    I would run it 3 times once you have installed it then ,set it to how long you want it to run in the day.

    Thanks for recommendatoin on software. downloaded both options, and problem sorted without need to uninstall drives.

    Used to defrag on a regular basis but not since upgraded hard drive so probably needed it!
