I would like to defragment a drive on a machine running NT4 Server. The drive has a capacity of 600Meg and it is showing 4 Meg of free space although the total of all files/folders is 390Meg. This leaves 206Meg missing.

Any recommendations for a utility to defragment the drive would be appreciated.
 
It doesn't sound like a fragmentation issue to me; try to run disk admin, to verify the actual partition size. If not full drive size assigned to the system partition, you can resize it.
 
Are you sure that you can "view allfiles"...

Go to the menu View > Options >View(TAB ON TOP)

Look for show all files and don't hide system files...

I even remove the hide known extensions thing...

Maybe there is a page file in you drive!

If not do check with Disk Administrator ok.
L8ter!
 
you can gain more disk space by converting the partition to NTFS ( if it is FAT )

Another thing,

get another drive...they are cheap
