Fragments that don't go away.

[Andrew]

I currently have two fragmented files that will not be defragged.

I noticed them less than a week ago.

Are they important/critical windows files?

I hate when things don't defrag cause I want my computer running 100%

The are thr Windows NT kernel. :)

With Windows NT not all file will be defragmented. . . if would really like to still defragment them I could look if there is a special programm that can do that. ?

But why all of a sudden are they fragmented and not being defragged?

Maybe a format will fix it. ;) (4 months time)

You can't defrag System files that are in use Andrew.

How much free disk space did you have left on the partition you were trying to format?

I once had a file that was over 200MB that wouldn't defrag, and the space left on the disk partition was 15%. I cleared the disk space to 30%, tried again, and the entire partition defragmented. :)

I have about 50-60% free of a 80gb hard drive.

I used system mechanic to do some cleaning of computer, and I think I noticed this afterwards.
