1) I have defagmented my 3 drives C:WindowsME,
D:WindowsXP, E:WorkDisk with Windows ME and with WindowsXP.
Aside from the fact that ME does it faster, can I cause
problems for myself by doing this?

2) Doing a scan disk with ME on drive C: I had an error
for create Vs. modified date/time on file IR41_QC.DLL and
IR41_QCX.DLL where the create > than modified. I let the
ME scan do a fix and afterwards saw that the date/times
did not change but subsequent scans show no error.
The IR41's are Inter Video/Windvd compression apps. I have
trouble with DVD recognition in both XP and ME but have
always had the problem & have been searching for a reason.
I sequenced System lib and noted that only QuickTime.QTS
etc. resulting from a Quick Time install had same create
date/time. This is odd.
 
Will,

For best and safest results, I would suggest that you defragment your ME
disk (C:) from within Windows ME and your WinXP disk (E:) from within WinXP.
Your WorkDisk (E:) will probably be okay being defragmented by either.
