In the final log report I see lines like theese :

These items are still fragmented:
Fragments       Bytes  Clusters Name
...
       10        1024        21     c:\WINNT\system32\config\software.LOG
         2        1024         2     c:\WINNT\system32\config\default.LOG
...

How can a 1024 byte file occupy 21 clusters and be fragmented in 10 pieces ?

Cheers
Maurizio

The "Bytes" are the size of the file, the "Clusters" are the number of allocated clusters. For most files these two numbers are locked together, but they can be different. That's why JkDefrag shows them both. It looks like these files contained more data in the past, and Windows has not released the allocated clusters.
