| Post subject: | Tool to move the clusters/sectors for a file |
I know when a file is allocated on a file system, such as NTFS or FAT32, the file system will allocated some clusters/sectors for it. After the file is allocated, is there a tool that can move the clusters allocated to the file from one location to another, and update the file system meta data as well? This is just like a defragment for a file manually. |

If you want to defragment a single file, CONTIG from SysInternals does it. technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897428.aspx |

It seems that CONTIG is a commandline tool, not GUI based? |

does the OP want to also specify where the file is now located? I dont think Contig does that. |

Can you code? I don't think it would be that difficult to write a util to do it |
