[QUOTE="davix8, post: 1003365, member: 144777"] How it started: I need to make a partiton from my mac, (minimum 17 gb) i have about 60 gb free on my mac problem! : files are fragmented/sparse around the hard drive and partitions need "contiguous" disk space... i have techtool pro and Drive Magic but they can only optimize/defrag a drive that isnt the boot one. :Grimmace: so i thought... ill go to my windows partition and defrag my mac from there with programs... WRONG all defrag programs i know dont defrag HFS format. so i need help, i need either one of these: a windows program that defrags HFS / a mac program that optimizes it even if booted from mac or suggestions are welcome :| [/QUOTE]
