Steven – I use QB Tools to unfrag my drives. And while the backup-format-restore sequence _should_ do a decent unfrag job, it doesn't seem to. Over the last couple of days I switched my system from 3 seperate drives to one big drive. After restoring from QB, I used QB Tools to unfrag, and the stats it showed were surprising. For example, on one drive with 900+ files, after the restore (to a blank, formatted partition) it showed 700+ files fragmented! Either FFS isn't doing something right, or QB Tools' stats aren't right. I sure wouldn't have expected those numbers. Anyway, for grins I ran QB Tools unfrag on a partition it had just worked on (after reboot) and it still showed no fragmentation, so at least it's consistent. Harry
