Ant wrote: Hi! Lo!!! Are there any good free disk disk defraggers that can be run outside of Windows like with a boot disk/disc or before Windows is loaded? There is no point in furiously defragging anymore. Sometimes, files can't be defragged because of them being in used. Thank you in advance. Even if you are ordered to shove your head up a dead bear's arse, again ?

"Knob Speed" wrote in message ... See every single one of your posts, brown chav child. That does not constitute a substantiation, it is merely silly name calling. Is that all you're capable of?

Ed Light wrote: I missed part of this thread. Just one question: Is exFAT as crash damage resistant as ntfs? I originally posted this thread: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yzdqgvj Basically, I saw an article about the new exFAT file system on Microsoft's site.

Only if you drop it etc. Installed windows 98, installed a better video driver (it defaulted to 640x480x16! Yuck!) and it runs like a charm.
