I put a 1 GB CF card into my reader/burner, opened the MS-DOS prompt window, and issued Defrag e: /v and while I did get the initial verbose information, there's no indication in the MS-DOS prompt window that anything is taking place. It's been at least 20 minutes. Should a 1 GB card take this long to be defragmented? The fragmentation percentage was high--34%. -- Walt Smith Technical Writer Freedom Scientific BLV 11800 31st Court North St. Petersburg, FL 33716-1805 Phone: (727) 299-6111 or (800) 444-4443 Ext. 1014 Email: WSmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Check out our webpage! http://www.FreedomScientific.com =20
