Could someone please tell me whether or not there are PD utilities out there
that can shuffle my harddisk in order to put all files in one contiguous piece?
An other point I'd like to mention is the speed of the SH204 harddisk: of
course it is slowing down because of the file fragmentation, but I can hardly
only blame that for the low speed. Has anyone ever disassembled the driver
code? I'm wondering how well written it is...

Ps: I started thinking about all this when I saw one of those horrible
    *don't-say-the-name* ..DOS machines perform FAST after a HDcleanup...
