Sadly, I don't currently have enough free space to fix this, either:

jesus!

Now class, this is why havnig a filesystem such as ext2/3, reiserfs and other *nux file systems are better then anything that MS puts out, *nix file systems defrage as they go

OMG thats so fake, its the same red used to block out the drive names. You can telll by looking at it that its a crude airbrush in psp or photoshop.

I just did a defrag (a boot time complete defrag) on XP using diskeeper. It took 7 hours ans 22 mins and I canceled it after, look at the result:

I dont know what you guys do, i almost never format or defrag and everything runs fine.

Probably a lot of heavy HD disk usage. Media encoding, downloading many very large files. Installing a lot of software. ect..ect.. I normally defrag once a month or more or less depending on how much HD usage I've been doing.

On months when I do media encoding or download lots of files, I usually defrag more. Plus, if you use win9x FAT32 file system, then fragmentation is an even larger problem. The winxp NTFS file system does a decent job of keeping fragmentation down.

I haven't defragged mine in the 8 months I've had it.
But it's certainly not very appealing to try and do a defrag on a 60gig drive.

I'd just rather get a second, larger drive to install, and worry about any defragging much later down the line.

Yes large divx file encoding is a problem, I put alot of video on my hard drive, much of it straight from digicam. Also large file downloading and uploading doesn't help.

Smeg: Good luck trying to hold onto that, eventually even really big hard drives fill up.

Knuckles: Very pretty shots!

Ren: I'd have to disagree about NTFS doing a "decent" job, compared to most OSS systems it is pretty piss poor, but yes it pounds on good old FAT32.

Malc: Yes, but how are you going to run dreamweaver under Linux?

I look forward to ever decreasing hard drive costs, and to another external USB drive in my future... Maybe a 500 GB!!! Or should I say, .5 TB?

My HD never gets further than the Apprentice's HD... BTW is there any Defragment software better than M$ ?

Gee wiz, major fragmentation!!! I would at least get Diskeeper Lite, it's free.
