From: Leonard Grey on 18 Jan 2010 19:26 No such thing as a "hopelessly fragmented file." There are some files that do not need defragmenting, so Windows defragmenter leaves them alone. You would do well to learn about file fragmentation before you cause your computer real damage. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est JD wrote: > I assume that if I could identify a hopelessly fragmented file, I could just > delete it, but none are identified.

From: JD on 18 Jan 2010 19:45 I have no desire to cause my computer real damage. It's just that I've never seen this report before and naturally wonder what it means.

Thanks for the reassuring note. It seems that the reports shows one fragmented file and one fragmented folder. I do not know the significance of the MFT, but would like to know. It may not be "unusual," but I've never seen it before. After posting, it occurred to me that I had just installed a router so that my wife could use her laptop in the living room. Could it be that this is the reason that Defrag is reporting as it is? By any chance, do others with routers between modem and computer see the same report from Defrag?
