Norton for example doesn't just put all blocks of a file together it puts files into a certain order. It puts items least likely to change away from the free space. I don't know what TTP does but unless it arranges things the same as Norton does, Norton is going to see the disk as being in need of optimization even if it doesn't need defragmentation. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
