#39 Some clusters never move

[Bob Bevill]

After running ultradefrag several times from boot, almost all files have migrated to the top of the disk. However, some pesky clusters never move. How can i learn what these files are and either (1) delete them, or (2) rename them.

I am trying to move a 60gb disk with a 4gb ghost file to a 40gb disk. It continues to fail because Ghost makes sector copies and doesn't know what to do with these straggler files.

Thanks.

Wouldn't it be better to simply move all files from one disk to another, without the use of the Ghost software?

Of course you might try to move those files to the beginning of the disk:

1. open the boot time script and add udefrag -r -o d: command to it, then reboot and see what will happen

2. try to shrink the disk by GPartEd software - it will move everything to the beginning of the disk

I did the first. I will try the second.

Thanks.
