I have V7.5.4.65 installed on 2 computors. When defragmenting both computors M.78.bin is reported as fragmented?

As far as I know, a fragmented file is a file that the operating system has stored in multiple, non-contiguous sectors on the hard drive. It can happen to any file. Usually large files will be fragmented.

Or are you saying that after defragging the disk, it is still reported as fragmented? In that case I don't know what that means, I am not a Windows file system expert.

That is not an uncommon occurance. It is not a problem either.

The file was probably marked in use by a program such as your virus scanner or EFI Live so the dfragger didn't touch it.

Try starting the computer into safe mode and run it with no other programs open.

Thanks, I'm not too computer literate and wondered if there was something wrong with the file.
