It is possible move a specific file to the beginning of the disk? I want to move my virtual machine disk files (virtual disk) to the beginning of the disk to improve disk access performance. I believe that this is possible because some defragmentation softwares use this technique to move system files to the beginning of the disk. What I want is a practical way (a script or a program) to do the same but moving the files that I choose.

I think you should be able to do that with the scripting feature of MyDefrag. I haven't tried to do what you want, but |

I think the best way is to create a logical disk at the beginning of the separate physical HDD. There are programs that can move existent partitions and create a new one at the beginning of the disk (google for "partition magic free alternatives") |

As Dennis said (sorry, not enough reputation as for voting you) you can use MyDefrag scripting for this task. Anyway I think you have to move the file to the end of the disk for performance improvement. |
