Me too. I haven't defragmented hard drives for many months now, because: (1) DEFRAG 1.3.2 does not seem to work at all in my computers. (2) The previous version of DEFRAG crashed, with loss of files, when there was something wrong in the hard drive which DOSFSCK had not been able to fix. And speaking of disk checking, I haven't had much luck with DOSFSCK either, and still less with CHKDSK. Both crashed with loss of files in different occasions. As a result I'm now wary of using either, and when I occasionally do run DOSFSCK I get apprehensive. All my hard drives are FAT16. I haven't tried FAT32 yet because the checking and defragmentation tools do not seem reliable enough. Please correct me if I am wrong in this. These tools are very important parts of FreeDOS for those of us who use it every day for work. Improvements will be very welcome.
