Defragmenting diskettes

[Lucille]

How does one defragment a diskette - I seem to be able to
defragment the hard drive only and no matter where I look
can't find instructions for the diskettes. Help please!

Thank you!

Defragging a diskette is pointless. However if you feel you really and truly
need to, just copy the contents to your HD, format the diskette and copy the
data back.

Diskettes hardly ever get significantly fragmented, they are not
big enough to make any fragmnentation have a big effect on
performance, and they are not usually used often enough for
fragmentation to be important. Do you have a special need? Why
are you concerned about doing this?
