Mess up copies if use XP application?
Eddie
C contains the XP system.
D contains data
E is empty
I usually need to copy approx 10GB from D to E. I want the data to
be stored on E as unfragmented as possible.
Would running an application on C at the same time somehow mess up
the copy of data from D to E in such a way as to make the data on E
more fragmented?
(Maybe affecting the numbers of simultaneous "streams" of data or
maybe affecting the buffers being used or something like that.)

at the same time, so only when the C program tries to write E at the
same time, will fragmentation take place.
The time slicing between you and the C progam in itself will not
cause fragmentation.

Those doent affect fragmentation.

Now come on Rod, you've got better insults than that - we know you have as
you use them everyday when your insane judgement and advice is challenged!

Knob Speed is hilarious, please don't scare him away. He's almost as
entertaining as Frank Ifield.

Doesn't the OS write systemv olume information to that partition and
perhaps it des that whilst copying data from one partition to another?

Yes.

Nope, nothing gets written to any partition that isnt being copied to.
And that 'system volume information' doesnt affect fragmentation of files on that volume anyway.

It would only be a matter of discountinous writes, that it
seeks between writing each volume. It still picks up at the
next contiguous block of free space.
