ah, sorry, but what's "ntdlr" ??

Also, I don't know much 'bout XP, but are you using Windows defragger, or a third party utility? Most likely, you'll need to use a third party tool...

Im using diskeeper 7

I'm not too much help on this one, Spyda..... I don't have ntdlr*.* on my Win 98.2 box, and I've not used Diskeeper, even though I hear it's great.

Any ideas Diskeeper users??

Diskeeper can be set to do a boot up defrag of the page file, directory structure, etc. Have you tried that yet? If you do this, I would backup anything of value first [Diskeeper will give you this warning also] since it is a pretty major rewrite of your disk.

i did boot defrag lastnight and it didnt do anything

I just ran it again to see; there were five files that it could not defrag. These were in some service logs not ntdlr files. I do not know what else to try other than using another defrag utility.
As long as it works well …..

Those few files won't be worth sweating over as far a system performance goes, why sweat it? Are you experiencing any real world problems that you attribute to these files?

Mine were never fragmanted until I installed SP1. But it is annoying to have a few files that are always passed over by the defrag utility.

What I did was to make copies of the files that wouldn't defrag and put them on a Zip disk. I defragged the Zip and then replaced the originals. There may be an easier way but it's the only thing I tried and it worked fine.
