defragmentation question

[sui317 0]

i was checking my HD and found it very fragmented

so i tried to defrag it,

it did not work so well because one file did not defragment, the quick bundle

any one else got this ?

even after a fresh install it was fragmented from start ....

don't know how this can be solved

or maybe it is just my fragged HD .....

Just defragged my HDD to check, pre-analysis showed the quick.bundle @2.86GB and 1,693 fragments, and afterward it was fine, did not show up in the "files that did not defragment" list.

Odd that it would be fragmented after you re-installed it.

maybe it is my HD ?

the bundle is spread all over the place

and does not react to defragmentation.

Are you installing it in a partition on your HDD, or are you running out of free space?

You've probably done this already but if not un-install the patch, run defrag and copy the report, re-install the patch, run defrag and copy the report for comparision. Hope it's not a 500GB unit!

before install all was clear

then the dvd install, after that it was defraged , so ran defrag and it did virtually nothing

it does not seem to make much difference, game runs fine

am afraid that if i push this too much my HD is going to kick back, it is partitioned and a few years old

*edit*

did another clean install on a different partition and it was all solid, no fragmentation

guess it is a partition thing
