I kinda knew it must be an *issue*.
Would deleting all files and reinstalling and overwriting via a backup *partially* solve the problem or is that too simplistic?
I like Avalaunch, hope they dev a solution for this

mainly you need to worry about fragmentation on drives/partitions where you copy music, movies etc to and add/remove them frequently. Games only shouldn't fragment much at all. currently the only "fix" is to backup the partition or drive to your pc, reformat it, then restore.

I know that with my PC, that defraging the drive every so often helps with the read speed, and also help free up contiguous space.

Is there a prog for the Xbox HD?
And if so, does anyone know the name?

cheers,

A defrag util hasnt been developed yet.

It is a pretty difficult app to develop, especially considering the undocumented fatX format the xbox uses
I'm sure it will happen eventually
for now all you can do is move everything to pc via ftp, format drive, recopy to xbox
a little time consuming, but if it's really fragmented it might be worth doing

The XDK has a defrag utility.

If your PC has enough harddrive space, copy everything to your PC, format the hardrive and copy everything back.

No, no defrag tool for evox.

Ok I know it would be a little more work, but why not take out the hd in the xbox and place it inside your cpu as another HD and defrag it that way, I believe it should work, I have not ran into this trbl yet, I use a laptop so im not able to try own reccomendation

My topic asks it all. thanx for any info.

thanx

nope... as of yet you cannot defrag the xbox hard drive. Everyone wants this feature but it's just NOT possible yet.
