Other drives defrag

[Hamster1947]

I have a partitioned hard drive ...C and D. I also have a USB 4 gig flash memory as F drive which does not show up on the defrag/optimise screen. Is there any way to defrag and optimise the F drive? Thanks in anticipation.

To defrag USB flash memory, copy the content of it to your hard disk, delete everything on it, and re-copy the former content, which you copied before to hard disk, to flash memory. All files will be defragmented and contiguous. There is no need for optimized defrag.

 

It is not advisable to defrag the flash memory as often as you do other drives, as, there is a usable life issue concerning number of write and delete cycles.

 

Cheers.
