I am trying to use the built in MS cmd line defrag.exe. I have a couple
machines that this defragger is not working well at all. 1 machine will
only come down to 35% fragmentation. The other comes down to only 24%.

I can't get to one machine to check right now, but I noticed that one of
these machines is using 99% of Master File Table.

Can anyone tell me if there is a connection? - If not, what might be causing
defrag to leave these machines at too high a level of fragmentation. Note:
there is plenty of freespace.

thanks
stacy
