Questions/help with strange defragmentation results

[ECLiPSE 2002]

Using Win XP home and when I run MS defrag there appears to be no
significant defragmentation at completion. Large blocks of fragmented
sectors exist. I have also run another defrag utility again with no
reduction in fragmented sectors.

Listed below are the details from the MS defrag utility. I am somewhat
of a novice and do not know how to interpret the results - especially
the many files that cannot be defragmented.

Can some kind soul assist me and perhaps offer suggestions on what if
anything I can do to defrag these huge files.

Thank you,

Those files look like temporary files of some kind. They may have been in
use when you ran defrag. If those files still exist on your machine, try to
delete them.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Before you run DEFRAG do a disk clean up. Check all the boxes and try
again.

My advice would be not to defrag. It is of no noticeable
benefit (except in rare circumstances) and exercises the
hard drive. Which is NOT good.

Cheers,

Many thanks to the responders - yes they were indeed temporary files
and I deleted them.
