The GUI representation of the fragmentation is simply - a representation.
Don't place too much stock in what you see displayed. Run defrag
occasionally and it does it's job. If you want to purchase a decent defrag
program with more options go for Raxco Perfect Disk. But really the Windows
Defrag utility is good enough and serves the purpose fine.

Excellent point. Unless you're exceptionally well
versed in drive structures and usages it's pretty
pointless to try to finesse them. There ARE some that
allow a little more flexibility in where things get
stored on a disk (inside, middle, end, etc) but unless
you're into something that causes almost instant
fragmentation (like video rendering) 99% of users won't
notice much improvement visually or especailly in time
between defrag needs.
