[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 975649, member: 24160"] Like I said I've never done a defrag, so don't really know. Downloaded iDefrag once, on a system that'd been up and running for close to 2 years and it reported my system as less than 0.5% fragmented and dumped it. I'll certainly take your word that it will work. However, I have seen a whole lot of posts with people reporting doing a defrag with iDefrag and still not getting the contiguous space they needed to create a BootCamp partition while having plenty of free space on their drive. So, I am only making "assumptions" based on those reports. It is entirely possible they didn't know how to use it, or if it has 5 different levels of defrag, they didn't use the right one. Since I don't use the app, I'm still waiting to see a post in the scenario where someone already tried iDefrag and it didn't provide them with the contiguous space they needed, get help in running iDefrag so that it would.
