Defrag Question

Postby Mobius » Tue Oct 23, 2007 11:27 pm

Hey everyone, I just got through installing FSX and a few other programs, and I bought O&O Defrag to do my defragging from now on.  I did a few defrags with O&O, and I get the report here: http://s15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/ ... roblem.jpg

It says I have 42.80% fragmentation, and it shows that all the fragmented files are 'System Volume Information' files, which are the files used by System Restore (if I'm not mistaken).  Now, I don't really want to turn system restore off, and from what I understand, it uses 10-12% of your disk space to store these files, which would be about 72GB on my system, which apparently can't be defragged.  My question is, is this going to cause my system to have to slog through this crud, or can I just ignore that in future defrags?  I really don't like having it tell me that I have over 40% fragmentation. :P

Thanks.

See NickN's post on O and O defrag here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 53;start=0 you may need to schedule an STEALTh defrag at startup.
