Hi all Well DiskWarrior optimises the disk directory but I believe defragmenting is making saved files occupy contiguous disk space. If the partition is just used for caches etc then Finder - Special - 'erase disk' is an easy way to go - it will not wipe the entire HD - only that partition. If there are files you want to keep on it and defragment then such as Norton and no doubt others will do this. my 2c Regards Brian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
