help with defraging using win 2000

[johndoe52]

So after I defrag my c drive I go to view the report. I have 5 things that didn't defrag. What does this mean? One of the files has 14 fragments. How can i fix this. Please help.

maybe it's your pagefile. Not a big deal though, only 5 files.

The built in defragger in w2k sucks.

There are some files the defragger considers UNMOVABLE, which are probably files required for the defragger to run properly, or some system files that are required to remain.

It's fine. If you are using NTFS, defragging is not very necessary. If not, meh.

Norton System Works Speed Disk.

Mday is right the Winders defrag just plain sucks.
Always has, always will.
MY NTFS partitions get fragged up just as much as my old Fat32.

So pretty much anyone that has windows 2000 has this "problem". Has anyone done anything about it? And what would norton system works speed disk do?

5 Fragmented files isn't going to impact your performance by any noticable amount. Personaly, I wouldn't even spend the time to try and get them to be defragmented.

forget it and live life... it doesn't matter

The statement that NTFS doesn't need defragmentation is complete BS.

Reminds me of the dude who said he doesn't need to use anti-virus software on Windows.

I use Jet Defrag from Ontrack (part of their utilitie program). After defrags it too reports that some files aren't completely degragged. One reason may be there isn't enough free space on the drive to properly defrag everything.
