You're right about a messy defrag with this option on. What I do is run "Defrag" in "Safe Mode" and leave the checks in place. But, before defragging, I run "Scan Disk" and then right after defragging, I run "Scan Disk" again. (the old BELT and SUSPENDERS philosophy).
Then, I use "Partition Manager" to set the partitions. It seems that not many people have heard of "Partition Manager" but it's a super super partitioner and has gotten me out of trouble many times. I recently decided to shrink my C:/hda1 partition and expand the adjacent one (Linux swap)-- -piece of strawberries and cream cake with Partition Manager.
