i dont think thats wat he was asking about...

from my experience- on NTFS file system, like winXP for example... the file does not get relocated on the HD, it only changes its designation in the file system.
and, im not shur if this is normal... but with my experience with Fat/Fat32, like win98 and below... i dont remember if all the file's did this, or just some.. but wen i moved some large files, i would see the transfer progress bar that shows its actually relocating it on the HD. so im not shur about Fat, but NTFS sertainly doesnt relocate it.
