Ok, so I learned something new about XP this week. It would appear that in order to defrag a disk the operating system isn't on requires a minimum of 15% of the disk capacity free before defrag will run successfully.

I discovered this little unknown when I tried to defrag an aux drive that had only 13% of the disk's capacity free. Anyone know if this can be changed? Is there a way to force the 'workspace' that defrag uses to temporarily write files being moved to to another disk?
