Arrow Disk Defrag (XP)
Hi, i recently defragged my HDD and when i analyzed it i saw a huge green block of unmovable files. Does anyone know what they could be and could i possibly move them to the start so they don't get in the way of future defrags?

In XP, the green blocks (unmovable files) usually represent the swap file (Virtual Memory) and system hibernation data (1GB if enabled). A third party disk defragmentor, such as Norton should give the option to defrag these files, but it's pretty pointless tbh.
