Default Defrag

When I defrag ny laptop (XP SP2), I notice two large green
blocks. I assumed that is the page file area. Is there any
way to keep them together instead of separate? There was
just one before I increased the page file size, so I guess
instead of adding it to the same area , it created a new
separate area.

IF it's the pagefile area, or anything, really, two blocks of data are
negilgible. The aren't slowing anything down perceptibly and are not causing
any problems. Nothing to fix or worry about.
Depending on some things about/on your drive, you might get them
contiguous again by killing the swapfile, rebooting three times, and the
recreating the swap file again. But it's a lot of work that might be for
naught since you aren't sure what it is.

HTH,
