or do you feel you must read every post, and hate to see the same stuff over? either way, you need to chill

Yes, I _try_ to read all the posts in the forums that I moderate.

Just FTP the contents of your F drive to the PC, delete the F: drive and then copy the Stuff back.
the files will become sequential again.

Note: you are only going to have a problem with fragmentation, if you are deleteing lots of files on a regular basis.
If you just backup your stuff and leave them on the HDD, then there will be no fragmentaion problems generated, as the XYZ drives are for cacheing.

how about a tool to defrag the xbox HD, especially for pwople that install a bigger one, with all this moving data around, even games using it as a buffer, it would be nice to have some kind of tool to keep it reading smoothly, just a thought

Thanks for searching for "defrag" and posting in the wrong forum.

I concur... but I think it would involve a bit of work because of the FATX format of the drive.

Perhaps someone could start with an Open Source defragger and port it for XBox use with FatX support?

i saw a program out there about defragging a xbox hdd, which has been upgraded i guess. It is called defrag x. does the hdd need this? i will probably be copying and deleting games when i am finished with them, so does the hdd need to be defraged if i am doing this?

in theory an xbox HD can get fragmented just like a PCs, where did you see the prog? i want it, lol

BTW, with Halo there is a ~1 gig XDemos directory that you can delete and save yourself some space. It's just demo movies for other games.

A few other launch games have similar directories that you can blow away to save space on your HDD.

Team AVA was talking about making a defrag app but there's nothing out yet that can defrag.
