    Never Never Never Defrag Games Drive

    Title kinda speaks for itself.

    I was having trouble using the last 15g or so on my hdd, meaning the newly installed 3-5 games = 14 1/2g wouldn't work ... no matter how many times I tried. So I had this brilliant idea to defrag as I have had a few occasions where I was a bit impatient and found myself deleting/installing/organizing the hdd all at the same time. I figured the maybe the final bits of the drive where just all over the place and a simple defrag would to the trick. Well, long story short, I screwed up 20+ games (they no longer play) that I counted so far and now find myself having to go back and DL/decompress/rename/transfer all over again.

    Patience is a virtue.

    Well your obviously using a FAT32 or NTFS formatted drive because you can't defrag a WBFS drive?

    So long as you have backups of the games you added to the drive there shouldn't be a problem.

      Yeah, using NTFS. Really only lost about 10. I had a couple backed up on PC, and about 1/2 are sitting on my media shelf collecting dust.

      Sure wish there was a refrag option ... hah
