Can you recommend a better defragmenter than the one supplied with Windows
XP?
I'm using Drive Image to image two hard drives to a third one every night.
The images are split into 600MByte chunks so there are about 40 x 600MByte
files written every night. The drive is never more than about 60% full.
Problem is that after awhile the standard defragmenter seems to give up. It
recommends defragmenting but terminates after 1 second and reports many
"files that did not defragment". These are split into 200 or 300+ fragments.
Would it help to increase the size of the chunks to say 4GByte or reduce
them so more smaller files are created?
