how about a tool to defrag the xbox HD, especially for pwople that install a bigger one, with all this moving data around, even games using it as a buffer, it would be nice to have some kind of tool to keep it reading smoothly, just a thought

I concur... but I think it would involve a bit of work because of the FATX format of the drive.

Perhaps someone could start with an Open Source defragger and port it for XBox use with FatX support?

-- After installing Halo [ 3.47GB ] to the Hard Drive it started making noise that it had not made previously with other smaller games installed .
-- I don't think you should be able to hear your hard drive seeking ....

BTW, with Halo there is a ~1 gig XDemos directory that you can delete and save yourself some space. It's just demo movies for other games.

A few other launch games have similar directories that you can blow away to save space on your HDD.

Yes Right Now It Is Impossible. But I Think That Latter On, Someone Will Code A Tool That Can Defragment Your Xbox's Harddrive. But Right Now We Will Just Have To Deal With It.

I hope that there is a defrag util soon as i know that mine needs a defrag soon as i can hear the hard drive hunting for files like on a pc and even if there is no defrag util on the xbox i wish there was a driver for the xbox file system on the pc so i could connect my xbox hard drive to my pc and defrag it and replace it back into the xbox

I don't think so either. You can't really compare the wear and tear of the Xbox HD to a HD in a wintel box. Windows is always writing and deleting something on the HD(virtual RAM, Temp Internet Files) while the Xbox just reads alot. you would have to be deleting and copying something alot for the HD to suffer crashes and bad sectors. Do not think tha M$ didn't think that one out before allowing people to rip their own soundtracks to the hard drive.....

That's what I was fearing ... I copied/deleted a lot of divx movies (big files)

Guess I'd be better off modifying the xbmpconfig and burning my movies on CD-RW, or use the .NET framework from M$ (is this stable for XP ?) and stream them
