defrag ntfs

Is it possible to defragment a formatted ntfs disk?

lorne;
Yes.
Start | Help and Support | Type: defrag | click arrow

From XP HELP:
[Using Disk DefragmenterYou might need to have a computer administrator account
to perform some tasks.

Disk Defragmenter consolidates fragmented files and folders on your computer's
hard disk, so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume. As a
result, your system can gain access to your files and folders and save new ones
more efficiently. By consolidating your files and folders, Disk Defragmenter
also consolidates the volume's free space, making it less likely that new files
will be fragmented.

You can also defragment disks from a command line using the defrag command.

Open Disk Defragmenter.
Notes
To open Disk Defragmenter, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Defragmenter.
For information about using Disk Defragmenter, on the Action menu, click

Yes, if there is data on it. That is the purpose of defragmenting, to put all the scattered file pieces back together again. If you have Norton Utilities, it is called Optimizing.
