I am using O&O Defrag to defragment the files on my computer (Windows, NTFS file system).
Is it possible to specify that particular folders (and the files/folders within them) be placed in the beginning of a drive? This was possible with the very first version of the Norton defragmentation program (back in the DOS days - many, many years ago).
Placing folders/files in the beginning of the hard disk that are known to be accessed often presumably greatly improves seek times and thus the performance of the computer.
Example:
Place the two folders "C:\WINDOWS\system32" and "C:\data\myConstantlyUsedReadOnlyDatabaseFiles" in the beginning of the disk.
I am aware that O&O Defrag can sort after access/modification time ("COMPLETE/Access" and "COMPLETE/Modified"), but this does in no way offer the level of control that is needed.
If this is not possible in O&O Defrag: do you know of another defragmentation program that offers this level of control?
