For some reason unknown to me, Defraggler works fine on my machine at the moment, but I have seen the occasions on other machines that it will fail to consolidate files + free space, leaving them "defragged" but definitely not consolidated!

There are huge gaps, chunks, & total checker board style design of files all over the drive! This is on XP 32 bit/SP2, 1.8 GZ P4 laptop with 768 MB ram & 80 GB drive with 75% free space & the latest Defraggler (1.15, I think)!

What can cause this & why?

Any guess? It appears to go through defraggler process fine, all the way to 100%, but still leaves files scattered all over the drive, just in a non fragmented state?
I did think it was supposed to consolidate files & free space, am I correct?

In addition, I checked to be sure that that the default options are checked, not move large files to the end of the drive.... What gives?
