-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Disk Fragmentation

Yes.  Go into safe mode and then, in the Accessories/System Tools click
defrag.  When you start it, it will do a check first and then tell you the
percentage of fragmentation before you actually defrag it.  Remember,
though, that it is all relative.  5% of 100 Mb is a lot, but 1% of an
eighty gig hard drive is quite a lot of file fragments as well.  I've
always felt that 5% or less isn't that bad for a smaller drive and that 3 %
is borderline on disks bigger than 20 Gb.

          |  Is there any way in 98SE to find out the
          |  percentage of disk
          |  fragmentation there is?  (Without going to PC Pitstop?)
