>> I recently did two things.

>> First, I took a 250 GByte FAT external harddrive, backed it contents up to
>> another drive and reformatted it as NTFS, then restored the contents.
>>
>> Second, I installed an incremental defrag program, Diskeeper, on my
>> system. When I looked at the newly reformatted drive Diskeeper reports
>> that over 10%% is "Reserved System Space". This is an order of magnitude
>> more than on any of my other 250 or 300 Gbyte drives, or even my one 500
>> Gbyte drive.
>>
>> Could this be an error in the defrag program? (The company says no.) If
>> such a large chunk of the drive is reserved does that mean that it will
>> never be used for my data? Is there any way to shrink this allocation?
>>
>> I hope this is the right place to ask this.
