Hey I have a Western Digtal 60gb drive and I've been trying to defragment the darn thing for a week. It's formatted in FAT32 (it's ironic that my NTFS formatted drive defragmented fine.) Anyways at first I was using the windows defragmenting program. After worse defragmentation results every time I defragmented with it (on my WD 60gb FAT32 drive) I decided it was a program error with FAT32 drives. So I downloaded the Perfect Disk 6.0 trial. With good results on my NTFS drive I decided to "buy it".
It was time to test it with the issue which had brought me to this great program. It's been three days of defragmentation, I've tried everything. Defragmentation, Smart Placement Defragmentation, Aggressive Smart Placement Defragmentation, and even an offline defragment. Everything seems to make fragmentation worse, the program even analyses it and tells me to defragment it right after I finish defragmenting the drive.
I'm not running any programs during the process, nor using the system in any way. Should I convert the drive to NTFS, or is there another option? I really want to avoid formatting my drive, but if I really have to I guess I can.
Please guys, this has been a week's problem, I really don't like being restricted to using my laptop while it's defragmenting.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike
