It is my understanding that Norton's Speed Disk marks as unmovable any
files that are hidden or that are otherwise identified as unmovable
via the appropriate command within SD.  On my machine (an Empac 386/20
with 40Meg drive--don't know what kind without looking under the hood)
SD labels as Unmovable 45 blocks, in addition to the two system files
and the FRECOVER.whatever.  If I indeed have some hidden files, there
certainly aren't enough to occupy 45 blocks.  These unmovable blocks
are scattered throughout the drive so, even after a complete
defragmenting, SD reports only 98% defragmented files.

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?  Thanks.
