Speed Disk which comes with Norton Utilities for NT (or as a standalone product I believe) will defrag NTFS volumes. My drives are all NTFS & I use it all the time. It's reasonably quick & can run in the background without affecting performance too much. It also tells you which files are fragmented. If you want Speed Disk I would get the standalone product (if available) as the rest of NU sucks, especially the disk check utility which reports non existance errors & persists in giving error messages. Disk Doctor which runs in the background eats RAM as well whilst the uninstall utility takes over the recycle bin & apparantly doesn't uninstall properly.
