move a portion of reserved zone to MFT , can i do it?

Ah, I understand now. I doubt that a different defragmenter can do this. Most of them will just move all files down to the fast part of the disk. You have to exclude these files somehow.

MyDefrag has a FileLocation file boolean which could be what you're looking for:

Code:

  // Do not move files that are located in the last 20% of the volume
  ExcludeFiles( FileLocation(EntireFile, VolumeSize * 0.8 / BytesPerCluster, 0) )

You can place that in the Settings.MyD file and MyDefrag will never touch files at the end of a volume.

thanks cool
the only disadvantage is that the files located in the last 20% of the volume will not be defragged ,will them ?

the connection between 20% and 0.8 is documented
the 30% should be 0.7
41% should 0.69 ? right

thanks darlis

Yes, MyDefrag will completely ignore them.

41% is 0.59, it's just simple mathematics.
