You could specify that in your reply and it might get picked up. Reposting
on the same day will get you nowhere except for annoyed responses of
multiposting and people less willing to help you. If a thread is "dead" for
about 3 days it is quite safe to assume nobody will reply. It's then better
to repost with more information.
Anyway, this file fragmentation probably occurs because there is no single
"open block of space" of over 2GB available on your hard disk. How many GB
is free on your hard disk and how many percent is that of the total? It's
not a big issue but if you want to have it fully optimized you could
consider using a commercial defrag tool like DisKeeper which can defrag at
boot time.
