MerleOne:
The scary thing was I had 35 per cent free space, and the XP built-in defragmenter still wouldn't defrag the files.

Just out of curiosity, do you know which file had 20K worth of fragments. Some sort of database? Or was it your pagefile or MFT?
Reason I ask is because I've never had anything to remotely with that monster of yours. And I handle servers and multi-user environments where some files get clobbered and frag up pretty badly in the course of a work week.
Always something new for me to learn about.

I once encountered such files : .arx archive files created by FirstDefense ISR, an instant recovery software.

The most fragmented files were all video files, about 1GB in size.

And what was the brand of the harddrive in that machine? A Maxtor perhaps? These disco's are known to get slower and slower after several years of use, though I've not been able to do any measurements on them :huh:

It's a Seagate. But I don't think the drive brand is relevant here -- any drive would have slowed down with that level of fragmentation.
