In reply to jaybobMT's post on July 4, It is Solid State Drives that rarely need optimization. Particularly, does it have anything to do with the nature of the NT File System?
More to this suggestion if you are interested. Perhaps Leo could tell you how to check this. The data is as follows: 56Gb hard drive on XP. Removing only the My Documents — 2. I hasten to add that the XP home edition is in fine fettle and is still working well. I simply dislike untidiness. MANY applications make assumptions about what they can or cannot put there.
No dice. I recently also tried some well-rated defragger freeware but all they could do is try load me up with unwanted add-ons, nothing else. I can, after a suitable interval, then delete the 20Gb partition and re-insert the huge graphics file in the space left behind.
I can view the status of the relevant hdd to verify any improvements. Perhaps I can treat the My Docs folder in a similar fashion? Thanks for your support. Again, you are treading on very risky ground.
You may simply have some files that cannot be defragmented. Thanks once again! Do you get that, Mark? The diagnoses on the www ran from viruses to Registry issues. I was also advised to clean and replace the heat-sink gunk which, it was said, had dried out. Problem solved. I still suck at the heat-vent about once every two or three years, though — just in case.
I know of friends, involved in on-line games, which have gone to the extent of fitting their desk-bound devices with water-cooling equipment. Defragging really only gives small speed increases which are in many cases imperceptible unless the disk were heavily fragmented.
Your drive seems pretty well defragmented. Windows, with C: drive of 1. You could create a Windows live USB flash drive or disc and boot from that and defrag. You can google how to do that.

Such files often refuse to defragment. This is how: 1. Note that there's a separate link for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users.
Posted October 6, I'm sure about this: is because it's in use. Outlook is running. Almost sure about this: In order to defrag that Outlook file you should defrag in safe mode. Did you stop Outlook before running Contig?

My suggestion is to leave it alone. This partition is for OS recovery. It's not actively used by your system so it won't slow anything down.
