I downloaded defraggler to give it a try. It looks very clean and uncluttered which gives me a sense of trust. Still 2 hours 30 minutes to go defragging 700 gb worth of data. I have a question too.
The reason I defrag this non-system F drive with data is because truecrypt could not
"shrink the filesystem to create a new volume header". After some reading it became clear
that unmovable system files could be the culprit preventing FS shrinkage. Looking at the defraggler drive map on my screen I only see 1 purple "MFT area" block positioned upper left.
Will defraggler eventually move any system files on this non-system F drive to a location so the partition will
be able to shrink? Or do I need additional tools to do this?
