OK, with suggestions from forum I have resolved most fragmentation except for c:\system volume information files, but they are still accounting for about 51% fravmentation at about 70 GB of drive C:. I understand defraggler can not defrag these files, but is there anything else I can try (perhaps in Windows Vista, or HP file management to delete some of the older restore points). Many of them seem to be automated saves at checkpoints, or when I add or remove programs. Should I modify scheduling of system restore back-up points? If so, which program should I use?

Similar issue to kbrown. except the analysis keeps going up, after defraggling . Started with 55% before 1st full defrag Got 18 files(mostly C:\system volume info\) 199 fragments 61% Ran analysis again , so did a PC Pitstop optimize, (cache, temp files, recycle, etc), also CCleaner, but not sure which items to check, and/or clean Got 35 files 280 fragments 64% Worst result was 23 fragments of >9 million KB, and other large files on C:\system volume information\ Lowest result was 2 fragments of 5 KB in various user or program files. So not sure what's going on. I liked the advice about removing some older/minor restore points, (after trying some other utilities,) but not sure how, or if wise. Are there any other safe suggestions I should attempt? Defragging should improve results, not worsen ?!?!? Thanks for any suggestions you can offer, Lin
