Further to my earlier posts, I didn't get any change to the display of the MFT zone on my C: drive whilst I continued to use version 2.09. On updating to version 2.10, the MFT zone appeared correctly, ie. circa 10% of the drive space. I thought good, they fixed the bug. However, on updating to v2.11, back came the bug. Just a few blocks of the MFT showing (although all the blocks which should have been displayed were empty and never got used during defrag). I have since upgraded to the Pro version, also v2.11, and the display is still in error. So if they fixed it in v2.10, it happened by accident and now it's back again!!!! Eddie.

Yours doesn't look right either. My guess is it should be showing as a row and a half across the centre or less likely at the bottom. The MFT is normally created near the centre of the drive and uses about 10-12% of the drive in a contiguous chunk. It's always a fixed length, created when the drive is partitioned. What does your D drive look like? Eddie

Hi. It's done it again. Got a screenshot this time. The purple should be about 1 and a bit lines long (10+% of the drive). Other drives correctly show MFT. System continues to function correctly. Re-install and reboot didn't work either. Anyone else???? Eddie

Hi, I was using Defraggler (v2.09.391) yesterday and suddenly there was no MFT displayed on analysis except for the last two squares which were purple. This was very worrying. The last two squares appeared in purple and contained $mft and $security*** respectively. I tried a "run once" boot time defrag but with no difference. Reboots did not bring back the MFT. Defrag appeared to work normally but no proper MFT. I tried using Chkdsk (somewhere I read that this might restore the MFT) but no improvement. By now I'm really worried that a system rebuild might be needed but the system appeared to be working normally. Today however (system off overnight) I tried the standard Windows defrag and the MFT is back where it was, roughly in the middle of the drive space. Defraggler also now shows it again in the correct place. Is this a known bug? I've been using Defraggler in preference to Windows defrag for about 2 years and never seen anything like this before. The drive (Windows XP system) is a logical drive using two identical 120Gb hard drives in RAID 1 (mirror).The XP system is fully updated. There are no errors on the drives. Hardware is Gigabyte UD3LR with ICH10R controller. 4Gb of memory of which system uses circa 3.25Gb I would appreciate any comments. Eddie
