While surfing, my electricity went off for about a second. The computer
worked okay after rebooting. Then I decided to cleanup the disk and run a
defrag on my C. The big glob of unmovable files, which used to be at the
left end of the defrag screen, now appeared in three pieces at the extreme
right side, and there was a big blank space on the left where the unmovable
files used to be.
Defrag moved files into that clear space. Now I'm concerned that the heads
have to sweep the entire disk to read the unmovable files. Won't that cause
excessive thrashing and wear of the HDD? Before, the unmovable files
invariable occupied the extreme left end and were always in one piece, I
liked the looks of that.
