MFT Fragmentation

[dmoretti]

Is there a way to defragment or limit MFT fragmentation?

There is KB article on this, but it doesn't say it's for
XP. It entails adding the value NtfsMftZoneReservation to
the registry.

You might wish to consider purchasing a more powerful
and thorough defragmenter program, such as PerfectDisk,
which has the capability to defrag both the MFT and pagefile
offline.
