Hmm... When you delete files on FAT formatted media, I thought what happened is that you overwrite the information stored in the FAT about which disk blocks are in use. Hence if there are no files (and no directories), no disk blocks are marked as used and you would have nothing to defrag. I may be wrong... :-) Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
