    Hi guys,

    I have just started defragmenting my main C: drive (since upgrading to 7). The defrag tool also finds the "Recovery" partition. Is it safe to do it on the Recovery too?

    Thanks!

    I'd be surprised if it is fragmented at all. But to be safe I would not let ANY utility near the recovery partition.
