I tried doing a search, but that was waste of time. Just basic "should I defrag" and "when should I defrag" questions.
Situation;
Larger video files (500mb to 2GB) in a non O/S partition that were defraged previously and NOT moved or changed in any way.
After running a defraged program, it reports no files being defraged. Weeks later, checking of the fragmentation amount of the same partition, numerous files are all of a sudden reported fragmented when they were not before.
The question is, if a file ISN'T fragmented and it's not a file that was 'touched' (at least by me in any way), how the hell can it get fragmented???
If it matters, I'm running Win7 Pro using Piriform Defraggler.
