DO NOT try to defrag a drive with an OSX system on it... especially 10.2 + 10.3 with Norton... it will just screw your system up and will probably be forced to reinstall it.

I wanted to defrag my laptop (OSX 10.3) and tried this and it rendered my latptop useless and had to reformat and reinstall everything .Then someone told me that Norton defrag was bad on OSX and I shouldn't use (after the fact).

just thought I would warn you

ideally you should get a seperate drive (without any apps on it) for recording audio to and then keep it defraged
