NTFS file number ID question

D

Dr Teeth

When defragging my NTFS partitions, my defragger (Raxco PerfectDisk)
mentions moving file xxx; where xxx is a number.

When PartitionMagic borks over a file, it gives the number and gives a
message about a problem with it.

Is there anyway that I can find the filename of a specifically
numbered file?

Don't tell me that nobody here knows the answer to this one.

I'm not presently using Perfect Disk so can't check to give you exact
information, but, there is an option somewhere under one of the bar headings
that lets you cross reference the file number with the name of the file ...
I used it quite often to see what files were taking so long to move ... Good
Luck

Found it! Thanks. At least you told me in which program to look!
TBH, I was surprised at the paucity of utils to do this.
