Does anyone know what is happening and why these files won't
defrag. If it helps, one of the files was at the end of the

XP's degrag program won't defragment the swap file and certain other system files. Don't sweat it, it doesn't matter. Unless your disk is very full and severely fragmented, deframenting makes little difference for most users.

Is there a better program than the one that comes with it for defraging Hard Drives with Win XP Pro and NTFS?

Thanks
