A fragmented hard drive CANNOT cause any piece of application software to
crash. Period. And they add little to application speed. What could be
happening is that TS2k or some other piece of software is leaving invalid
directory entries which cause unexpected results when the application in
question tries to read them. Most defraggers correct bad entries during
processing. The other thing could be a bad spot on your hard drive. But
that is unlikely.

Any ideas as to why it requires such frequent defrags to be stable? One
would think that just one day of operation would not produce much
fragmentation. And why should TS2k be *so* sensitive to defrags?
