Hello,
I have 2 disks that dont have a drive letter since they are spanned. When I defrag the volume that they are attached to only the first disk of that volume is defragmented. How can I defrag the disks without a drive letter?
thanks in advance,
Glenn

You cannot defrag a file system unless the partition has been assigned a drive letter.
Is there a reason why you do not have a drive letter??

Yes, the drives are spanned and thus have no drive letter.

His drives are spanned, which lets you combine multiple drives to form one larger drive without resorting to hardware RAID, i believe.
Spanned HDD's do not have a drive letter aside from the initial drive.

I've had no experience with spanned hard drives however if it's part of multiple drives then I'm guessing it can only be defragged in this configuration.
