15361 2001-07-11 04:52:00 I use Norton System works speed disk to defrag. The problem I'm having is the degree of fragmentation occuring. Case in point; I defraged last night after noticing 98% fragmentation, now just 24hrs later my hard drive has reached 98% fragmentation already. What gives? How can I get my computer to organise itself better? Guest (0)

the other thing could be the swap file becoming fragmented. the trick to stop this is to put in a minimum swapfile size that is slightly bigger than what you would normally use. do not put a max size in. i use min 500meg.
