Minimising defrag for partition copying by XP

[zappo]

So?

So your original claim that it isnt possible to bypass the OS is just plain wrong.

Moving clusters and allocating clusters are two entrierly different operations.
Wrong.

The second one is far, far more complicated.

Wrong. ALL that's required is to identify a contiguous block of clusters
where the fragged file will go, tell the OS that those clusters are no
longer free, move the contents of the fragged file to those clusters,
and then delete the original file once that move is completed.

Not a shred of rocket science whatever required.

You are a ****ing retard, Annie. Win NT defrags OPEN files on mounted volumes.

I think Arno filters everyone who corrects him.
