delete it, but none are identified. Can anyone advise me as to why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

No such thing as a "hopelessly fragmented file." There are some files
that do not need defragmenting, so Windows defragmenter leaves them alone.

Thanks for the reassuring note. It seems that the reports shows one
fragmented file and one fragmented folder. I do not know the significance of the MFT, but would like to know. It may not be "unusual," but I've never seen it before. After posting, it occurred to me that I had just installed a router so that my wife could use her laptop in the living room. Could it be that this is the reason that Defrag is reporting as it is? By any chance, do others with routers between modem and computer see the same report from Defrag? "Gerry" wrote in message ... JD Your MFT is the single fragmented file, which is not unusual.
