I've had a 120gig hd in my X-box for over a year now.. I want to know how I defrag the drives on the system.
And does the X-box really need defragging?

The xbox doesn't really need it, and there is not a program to do it.

Thje only way to do it, is to reformat your hard drive

Firstly, wrong forum. Second, you can't defrag

. The closest you can get to defragging is backing everything up, formatting then putting everything back on again. It should all be in a nice order on the HDD then.

Just wondering if there is a program out there for the Xbox that defrags the hard drive. Might be nice to have if you're adding and deleting games on a larger HDD.

No.

You would have to backup, reformat, and FTP everything back.

im not sure how possible it is, the only solution i found when i did this is that i made a backup of all my junk on my 60gb (i got 290gb in my comp so no prob) then format it in windows and just fix it back up

i think that works, either that or my hd was having a bad week prior

Not a bad idea. Does anyone know if anyone is working to develop a defrag utility?

What if you booted up a Linux distro. Could it try and defrag the HDD?

I don't know where to post this, but anyways, I want to make a defragger for Xbox......

Objective:

Flawless and Quick Space defragmenter to be ported to Xbox.

Questions:
1. Where do I start?
2. What do I need?
3. Who will help me?

Problems:
1. I am not a computer tech and do not know any programming stuff. Never read any computer literature.

2. Will arise if problem 1 is solved.

Advantages:

1. I got three retail drives to test/Sacrifice for the yet to be born application.

Ideas:

1. Planning to have an application like config_magic to defragment all kinds of xbox drives. There would be a default.xbe.

2. I might try to port a similar application for PCs to Xbox platform.

Help:

1. Someone who knows a lot about porting would be helpful indeed.

Suggestions:

AWAITING ANY SUGGESTIONS

thats a nice outline/flowchart, but honestly if you have no experience in programming or even computers in general (do you even know what a defragger is then?) you have 0 chance of accomplishing this

BTW, the words "quick" and 'defrag" do not belong in the same sentence, lol

IF you ghosted it to another drive would it then be defragmented on the target drive?
(works for PC drives!)

Come on people... if you were to take out your xbox HD and put it in your PC, it woulodn't recognize it as a PC drive... and will ask you if you want to format it to a compatible file system. windows uses FAT and NTFS... xbox uses FATx... use your head.

Also... with that Avalaunch coment... any news about that? Possible release date?

is it possible to defrag the xbox hard disk?

KJL89 · « **Reply #119 on:** September 07, 2002, 10:51:00 AM »

Yes Right Now It Is Impossible. But I Think That Latter On, Someone Will Code A Tool That Can Defragment Your Xbox's Harddrive. But Right Now We Will Just Have To Deal With It.
