    Default a question about defraging harddrives

    when u go to defrag my harddrive, rome total war appears in the list and my question is, if i defrag my harddrive will it move around rtw's files and mess up eb. And on a side note, mtw2 appears on the list also.

    Right. You don't know what defragging does, do you? It doesn't move round file directories, It moves around the binary information that makes up files into different clusters on the harddrive. Defragging makes sure that files associated with each other are put in clusters that are close to each other on the harddrive. It also moves files that are routinely opened to more accessible areas of the harddrive (closer to the middle where the read speed is quicker).
