Defrag won't move files that are have the system, hidden, and maybe the readonly attributes set. Doing a dir /ah /s, dir /as /s, or dir /ar /s will list all the files with those attributes. Then you can remove the attributes, defrag, and re-set them. This may break some older copy-protection schemes (I happen to know of one that actually does track the cluster a file occupies), but since you already have FAT32, you probably don't have that problem (meaning FAT32 would break them anyways). >Is there any way to get around this with FIPS, or any other program >(Partition Magic)?

Remove the attribs, defrag, re-set attribs, do FIPS. --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ludwigp@chipweb.ml.org ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
