It could be a bug in the program or (maybe?) an incompatibility with your partition. I know it doesn't always work perfectly, trying to do everything in real mode (which is fairly impossible for really huge FAT32 drives). > On that machine, I am running freedos and for a command processor, > 4dos.

(Take the hard drive with you to another machine, and try there.) Obviously if the FreeDOS version doesn't work at all, you'll have to use a different one (if defragging is that important to you and just re-copying / deleting doesn't work as a simple kludge). > the defrag program doesn't work on FAT32. Well, I'm pretty sure that's not true anymore, but I haven't tried it lately. > this is the one I am running: > > FreeDOS defrag > > FreeDOS defrag is a free software implementation of a file defragmenter > under the GNU General Public License.
