on disk?? If this is indeed the problem, might I suggest that index.vdrProblem???? Since when is fragmentation a problem? I guess you have bad hardware or there may exist a bug(/incompatiblity) in either the Linux or WinXP FAT-driver but fragmentation isn't the problem! Or there maybe a bug in the "handling", FAT is a bit fragile. So correct unmouting etc. is a must. But again, fragmentation in itself isn't (a/the) problem!
Well.. I'm no disk guru. WinXP's defragmentation tool said that "defragmentation recommended". In any case I'm going to solve this problem by repartitioning my HD, yet one more time, and recording to Ext3. As for FAT32, I'm stuck with having it around on my disk, it being the only common partition type for both Mandrake and WinXP.
