HDD Fragmented

My PS2 HDD has become fragmented from all the deleting and installing of games. Does this matter and can it be de-fraged?

Cheers

Connect my HDD to PC all the time to install games on, however XP does not seem to recognise the drives format so cannot defrag that way

use WinHIIP V1.6.3 to install games on hdd and make sure "reduce fragmentation" option is on.

from winhiip readme file:

Reduce Fragmentation :
This option changes the way partitions are created on the PS2 hard drive, it will use
the space very efficiently and so not create the gaps between partitions that have been
present before. The only time a gap may be left is when a large partition is made (>4Gb)
which is done because of the limitation of the partition offsets stored in HDL partitions.
It will however use the gaps up when the next image is installed.
