Hello a_lex, Defrag free space has to do with moving things about on the disk so you end up with all the smaller free spaces joined up to form one large freespace. It is harder and takes a lot more time to defrag all free space than it is to allow some fragmentation to occur while you are doing this. I go with free space with fragmentation however I rarely have need to do it. Having some fragmentation is quicker and after all as soon as you start using your PC fragmentation starts to occur in the day to day usage. Most users can get by with defragging maybe once a month. davey Edited October 15, 2008 by davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
