Defragmenting PQservice partition?

[John Bauer]

I'm about to defrag my hard drive on the netbook, and I noticed that disk defragmenter says that it's 49% fragmented... Is this a problem? What would happen is a tried to defrag it?

For a reminder, this is not the main partition, but the recovery partition.

It's not a big deal, but you can defrag it if you want, can't hurt. If the main OS drive is fragmented it will make a bigger difference, but if you really want a defragmenting program to speed things up you will need an aftermarket program, like O&O's defrag with different modes like the "Complete" option that not only defragments, but actually puts all the OS files back in the order that they should read. It takes a long time, but is worth it, if things seem too sluggish. The recovery partition is rarely used, so it is trivial at best to defrag.
