Stages Diskeeper goes through to defragment my partition

As Diskeeper analyzes or defragments your disk partition, the lower portion of the Diskeeper display shows several numbered "Stages" as they progress.

The analysis operation consists of two stages. Stage 0 gathers general information about the number of files and file fragments on the partition. Stage 1 gathers additional, more specific, information and displays the information found.

The defragmentation operation is a bit more complex. First, it runs an analysis of the partition (Stages 0 and 1 of the analysis). After the analysis, Diskeeper uses up to seven separate stages, each of which employs a separate proprietary algorithm to optimally defragment the files and consolidate the free space on your partition.
