Hi Bill,
You shouldn't need to do anything, the MFT exands as files are added. To
compact unused space (resulting from files that have been removed), you
would need a third-party defragging utility, as the native defrag utility
will not do this. Keep in mind also that the defrag routine will need free
space of ~15% to run properly, so do not load the drive too full (keep it
under 31GB).
