Defrag'd File...what is it? - Club CDFreaks

*Nosmartz* · 12-12-2005

I've been defrag'n my HD for a while now and I always notice this one file just sittin there in the middle of the HD...Is there an app out there that can tell me what it is?Everytime I defrag I hope it'll pull itself in closer to the other files but nope....

That's most likely your Master File Table which is essentially a Volume Table of Contents (VTOC) for a drive formatted for NTFS. It's an unmovable file.

yes, another defragger. from my own experience i can only recommend O&O defrag v8 - in it you can click on every 'cluster' of your hdd to view which files are in it...

you should definitely try a boot-time defragmentation, to move files which are normally blocked by (running) windows.
