reserved system space

[XtremeMaC]

Hi there

I always see this type of stuff in legend of defrag programs

it seems that they take plenty of place in hdd.

what are they. how can i get rid of them?

they cannot be temp/pagefile/files like that

only thing i can think of is the recylce bin's %thing.

but i'm not sure.

i want to have my system dll's exe's on the first part of the hdd..

norton's disk stuff was able to place the dlls (or at least said to be)

i'm using diskeeper.

how can i lower those reserved stuff? what are they? how can i place the dll's exe's etc's ..

Thanks

I've noticed that as well, using Speed Disk, where I have it set to have all dll and exe files at the beginning of the drive (using \**\*.dll and \**\*.exe), and ends up with a space at the start for system files. I'd tried changing recycle bin/norton protection settings, deleting temp/prefetch files, but it still stays there. I think I managed to get rid of it by having the \program files\**\*.* line in the files at start section too.

That's actually reserved space for the NTFS MFT (Master File Table).
