Hi Darragh,
Thanks for both emails.
The 200GB external drive is permanently connected, and, so far as I
remember, was on when I went into defrag.
I have Service Pack 2 installed.
also, the temporary files are not stored on my external drive, so, as you
say, there may be no need to defrag. I think I have the drive about 2
years.
I'll take another look, as I may have missed something obvious.
cheers,
Eamonn

by the way,
I should probably note that unless you've specified that your computer
should use your external hard drive for storing temporary files, you
shouldn't need to do a system clean up on it. a defragment might be
necessary after a long long long time but I've never done one and I have
my 350GB usb drive for ages now, copying files on and off almost every
day.
sorry again for the false information. Serves me right for jumping to
conclusions.
