Hello,

I have a 160 GB Maxtor 2nd (data) HDD for which I installed large disc
support. All seemed OK until I rand the win 2k defragger - this caused loss
of some files (a significant number (e.g. say 20%, mostly latest files
written.
The Defragger stopped and I observed this when a viewed the disc in
explorer. Chkdsk showed no errors.
What caused defrag to loose (I was able to recover some from "fragments" and
others from a backup. However I do not now wist to run degfrag on this
drive!
Any comments / advice please. Thanks, Mel
