I purchased a 700m about 3 weeks ago and went to defrag last night.
FYI, I have a 80gb fujitsui 5400rpm drive. Before I defrag, I analyzed the drive, and it said I should defrag. I used Windows XP to defrag.
After defrag was complete, I looked at the status bar, and there was a block of blue, (non fragmented files) some white (empty space) and green (non movable system files), then there was another block of blue at the end.
I was under the impression all the nonfragmented files should be in the front of the status bar. Is it okay that there was blue files at both the front and the end of the status bar?
I was thinking maybe there is a hidden partition or something...
Not really a big deal, but just curious.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Blue could be your swap file, or some other locked system files. Either way unless your drive was really fragmented I would not worry to much, not going to make much difference.
I use perfect disk to defrag my computer, and you do not need every file in perfect order for your system to run at its peak. In some cases a mildly fragmented computer can run better than a fully defragmented one. Or so the defrag program tell me, which is why it does not touch all files.
Plus your hidden partition should show up as another drive, not part of your main drive data, I maybe wrong though. -
Another blue block at the end is quite normal. It will be there before and after a defrag.
