Ok, a really awkward one here...
I cannot use the TT to defrag my hard disks anymore!
There are a couple of issues here, that go with it...
1. I use MAGIC's VFAT System so I have Long Filenames.
Now, as the drives are standard format anyway, this should NOT be a problem should it? - But, listen to this...
2. I also need to format a pair of 1GB Drives, and a 3.2GB Drive!
HA! - Now its getting nasty!
The snag is, that I have a few programs that will seemingly attempt to defrag the drives, but it always crashes! - annoyingly HD Optimiser even displays the info about the long filenames, but loses the info, and then crashes!!
So, what have I done to remedy this?
Well, the only viable option, is to chuck my drives into the PC's.
I do have the larger ones partitioned as DOS without the TOS compatibility mode for such a reason, and I can use Bindoze on the Celeron for those, and the TOS ones, I use Linux on the AMD ( Windows is shit, so I dont want to risk the TOS Disks ).
This, as you can probably see, takes me the best part of 4 or 5 hours to do, so is there a defragger that will cure this?
Dont say copy them around to make up the space... I did it once.... it took me weeks, and Kobold doesnt seem to like Long Filenames either! ( Why then does Jinnee offer Kobold to use them? - maybe that's Kobold 3? )
