I have a Dell notebook with a 30 gig HD. The file system is NTFS, Win XP Pro.
I have noticed that when I defrag the disk usage after shows a large open area where there is apparently no data. On a different computer using FAT 32 when I defrag, it seems to move the data to the front of the disk and I have no blank areas afterward. Is this normal for the NTFS file system or ...? I have no operational problems with either computer.
