Hmmm... format is not the only way. Besides, you lose all your data (unless it's backed up, which you probably assume the person would do)

Easier way (which requires no format but backing up of data) is simply moving all of the files from your XBOX E or F partition to another storage device and then copying the files back. Copying files to an empty partition results in no fragments.

Yes, that would be the same... but I think you will find that deleting all the files from a large partition takes longer than the 2 seconds that evox takes to format a partition. Either way, yes, you will need to backup and transfer your data back.

xbox_4_me, this question is asked ALL THE TIME, infact, I will merge a few topics asking the same question; maybe it will help others who do search.

Currently there are not tool to defrag an xbox HDD. The only way it can be done now is to back everything up on your PC. Delete everything on your xbox HDD then re-xfer it all back over.

I have a modded box and I have been installing and deleting games to the hard drive. Is there any application that would allow you to defrag the HD?

You can't. Not yet anyway.

how can i disk defrag my hdd for maintenance purpose like a pc hdd if thats possible?

can i install all my applications to the c drive instead of the f drive, because i installed a game to the c drive by mistake and it didnt work, it only worked when it was on the f drive. I wonder if thats the same for the applications, that way i can save as much space on my f drive for my game.

to defrag your drives, empty them and then fill them back. so if u wanted to defrag your F drive, you would ftp all the data from the F drive on to your PC, then erase everything off the F drive then ftp the data from your F drive back to your xbox.

but why are u worried about defragging your xbox?

and i think u can install apps in the C drive, u just need to configure evox or what ever dash u use to recognize the game/app in the C drive, but i wouldn't recommend it. the c drive is for system files so u should just leave it like that.
