I am running Win 2000 Pro on a Pentium 4 machine. When I
open my "defragment" window, I see a file window about 7.5
inches long. In that window, my system files (green), are
in three places instead of all together. Is that normal?

The 7.5" window is broken down in the following way per
color ("=increment inches of the 7.5, B=blue, G=green,
W=white - green being the system files):
B=1",G=3/8",B=3/8",G=7/8",W=1/16",B=3/4",W=7/8,"G=1/16",
the rest of the 7.5 total is unused (white).

I had our office tech look at it and he didn't think it
was a problem, but I can't understand how the machine
would be as fast while operating with this kind of a
setup. I have a liscensed copy and can provide that info.
Thank you,
GR

That's normal the built-in defragger just defragments the files, it
doesn't try too hard to put all the files at the front of the drive and
all the empty space at the other end of the drive. Most of the third
party defraggers can do that however. I'm partial to PerfectDisk from
Raxco myself.
