Yeah, that appears to work upto a point (thats what I was doing before). Any
files that are over 20megs (guess) though it appears to have problems with.
I have a few big mp3s (120meg) and I cant get rid of the fragmentation at
all on them :-/.

I suppose I could try a full format on the partition and see if that gets
rid of the problems. At the moment it takes Voyager about 20 seconds to
even open the loading progress box (plus most other programs are running
like snails!)

Thanks for the suggestion though,
