Default What's the best freeware defragger to use in Windows XP Pro.SP2 with limited free disk spaces?

But no defragmenter can be bothered to defragment huge files on a disk
with little free space.

If you are a gambler you could offload the large images to a memory key,
defragment the disk, then copy them back. Memory keys sometimes lose data.

The standard XP defragmenter defragments the files, but doesn't
defragment the free space. This is where JKDefrag is better; it
defragments the files, and as far as possible conglomerates the free
space as well.
