    What is the best software to organize boot files to the beginning of the hard drive's volume and clustered together? And can the software also organize all files to the beginning of the volume so everything runs faster and which program can also display a picture of where files are stored on the hard drive? Thanks!

    Youre looking for a defragger.

    A lot of people like O&O Defrag, but i find it doesnt completely move all the files necessary to complete the defrag.

    I find PerfectDisk does a lot better, but still tends to fall short. However, its the best ive found.

    I use Raxco PerfectDisk and it does a great job. Diskeeper has a better visual display IMO, but who cares.

    Here's a simple way to defrag the boot files, thanks to Gary from NBR.
