Disk Defrag

[scottn5388]

Hello All,

I am trying to create a small partition (15gb or so) at the end of my 40gb drive. I need to have all the data clusters at the beggining of the drive so I can cut off the last 15gb of the drive. I am using Windows 2000 so I have a NTFS formatted drive. i tryed using the Windows 2000 drive defragmentor but all it does is find clusters of data that have been scattered over the drive and combine them in one place, It does not move all of the clusters to the beginning of the drive and I am wondering how to do this with Windows 2000...I rember when I previosly used Windows ME I was able to accomplish this task with the Windows defragmentor.

Is there some other software that I can do this with? Or am I just missing something and the Win 2000 defrag app can do this jsut fine?

Thanks in Advance,
Scott

Check out a program called Partition Magic. It lets you create partitions without having to reformat and start from scratch. I don't know if it moves the files to the beginning to your drive, but probably does. It can be bought, or it can be downloaded from Kazaa. Your choice.

He could be right about Partition Magic. But NOT about the K@#$%^.
You are warned, DO NOT RECOMEND PEOPLE HERE TO USE K@#$%^ It's forbiden here in this forum !!!

Sure use partition 'magic' if it does the job.

Masterbooter works better, but will kill the data on the drive.

My question is, why the big concern?

Are you trying to create the perfect hard drive, or record a song?
