I need to move all files possible to the front of my C: drive so Drive Image
can make a backup image via my CD-RW. I have run defragmenter over a dozen
times in a row, but it will not move a group of contiguous files (Blue) from
the middle of my drive past a group of unmovable files (Green) to the front
of my drive. There are large gaps (White) on either side of the unmovable
files with plenty of room on the front end. Is something wrong with my WinXP
SP-2 defragmenter?
Best Practices says to only run defragmenter if Analyze recommends it. Why
is this? I had several groups of contiguous files (Blue) and some fragmented
(Red) and Analyze said defrag was not needed at first. Now I only have two
groups of contiguous files (Blue) on either side of the unmovable files
(Green).
Finally, after running Defragmenter once in Safe Mode, it showed I had less
free drive space than before and two large groups of unmovable files (Green).
I only had one unmovable group before. This seems abnormal.
