excessive fragmented files

[phil danza]

Hi! I need some help concerning excessive fragmented files on my hard disk. I'm running windows xp home. I tried to defrag a few times with the system program, but there is still a lot of red bars. What can I do to get rid of all these frag files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could use better defragmenting software.

I use System Mechanic 4 Professional which comes with an array of useful tools. Including a defragmentation wizard.

Thanks for the info! I'll look into it. I had a funny feeling that the xp program isn't too good!

I donot know if you will notice the difference. If there is one.

You can only find out by testing different defragmentation software.

Thanks again Raptor! I'm going to compare & do my homework as best I can.
