Hmmm... I know Diskeeper can move MFT fragments. Perhaps you have to use
both products to really pack things down. Mine went great with PerfectDisk,
but that was AFTER I had run DiskKeeper.

Pulled it down and ran it, it did move most everything to one area of the
disk, but I see MFT fragments all over the place. Trying to figure that one
