Hi,

I can't defrag 100MB IOMEGA ZIP disks at home on Win 98 SE.
I get an error - something riculous about possible networked drive.
I can defrag them at school using Win XP. I don't like doing that
because there is some sensitive information on some of them.

Is there a free defragger that can do defrag these for me?

Copy all files from the Zip disk to another drive.
Remove all files from the Zip disk.
Copy the files from the other drive back onto the Zip disk.

The above should work fine, you might want to do a quick format on the disk
before copying the files back to wipe out the FAT refs. This will ensure the
files will get written not only defragged, but also in a contiguous block
starting at the beginning of the disk.
