    i'm using vista home premium at the moment

    and just wonder how to view the process of disk defragmenting?

    as you know in XP we can see the progress of disk defragmenting

    (showing bad sector or good factor with colored line etc)

    The built-in defragger runs in the background, so you don't need to worry about it finishing. It's not mean to be run by the user, which is why it doesn't give a real GUI.
