I do not think that Windows basic defragging tool still moves all files bits to the
begining of the partition... It believe it just puts the bits of the same file in a
sequential order (maybe also put directories entries at the beginning?) and
that's it. Other defrag utilities might do it though.
I would check with a "disk mapper" that displays files location on a disk
graphically (I think there is maybe one in the sysinternal tools)...
