The thorough, slow, complete defragmenter in Win 98 was maybe not as
thorough as the defrag screen suggested.. what it showed was a
representation of defrag.. the essence of defrag is not to pile everything
up at one end of the drive, but to join back fragmented pieces of file.. XP
defrag does a reasonable job of this..
Win 98 defragmenter is not available to XP.. if you want something more than
what is offered, look to purchasing Diskeeper or PerfectDisk..
