    I am running Defraggler on C which has a windows and Ubuntu partition.



    Should I run this program on the Ubuntu partition or not ?

    Up to you, if Defraggler can see the Ubuntu partition, you can run it.

    I personally would not run defrag outside of the OS environment unless there is some issue with the drive that I am trying to fiddle with. Just my preference.

    cheers ...

    It is just me, or does that sentence contradict itself? How can a partition (C: ) contain both a Windows and Ubuntu partition?

    I think that OP meant the main drive with 2 partitions. Many still seeing C: as main :)

    cheers ...
