Norton Systemworks 2004 Speed Disk very slow on Windows XP

[George_K]

Was considering disk keeper. By the way, I did not convert to ntfs due to its vulnerability to fragmenting. My xp is on 32 bit. Sd optimization is basically like xp defragger in that it puts frequently accessed files at top of page (front or back of drive?), swap file below that, and miscelaneous files below that. At bottom of drive picture are several yellow squares that are supposed to be directories. It appears that no slack is used like in 98se and fragmentation occurs more often.
