Hi Everybody! I have a question about Windows XP Home with SP2 built in. When I use defrag I always end up with a lot of free space in between my files. I thought defrag was supposed to eliminate free space between files and place all free space at the end of the drive (after all files). Am I wrong, or am I doing something wrong? I appreciate anyone's help. Thanx. Al.

the built in defrag with windows xp does not consolidate freespace--it only defrags files

thanx, gerryf. I was afraid of that. Is there any decent program to replace windows defrag, or should I just forget the whole thing? Al

lots of them, but how much do you want to pay?

diskkeeperlite, I think defrags open space
