How-To Make Your iPod Faster

[anonymouse187]

I figured this out myself when I was playing with my iPod. It makes it alot faster when scrolling through the menus and stuff.

1) Plug your iPod into your computer, wait until it is recognized.
2) Run Windows Disk Defragmenter (Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter)
3) Defrag the volume for your iPod.
4) Wait until it is done, then unplug your ipod and notice how much faster it is.

Thats a good idea, never thought of doing that.

Lol, I knew of that because I had my ipod plugged into my comp. one day, and went to defrag, and I noticed an extra drive there. Guess what it was!

*Starts Defragging*

im not sure, couldnt it alter the partition that controls how the ipod's OS works?

[tel0s]

no, defrag only moves items that are accessed often to the centre of teh hard drive for faster reading. it wont actually alter anything but the read speed.

Hahaha, there two Really FAT chunks of red... not good not good.

*Continues to Defrag*

yea it would, PSP uses flash memory though so defragging is POINTLESS

flash memory is tidy and won't fragment

[Spriggan]

Heh ..ok well despite it being pointless, i've done it quite a few times ..i have a hella lot of files on my memory stick ( teh homebrew) and err it was pretty fragmented. so ..yeah !?

[k3rr]

hmm..my ipod wasnt fragmented at all... took about 2 seconds had to move a file or two.. interesting enough though
