I don't know if it's supposed to be available in Vista or not, and as bob
and big al say, it's likely to cause more harm than good anyway. If you
simply won't be able to sleep tonight because you've heard that failing to
defrag a drive allows the communists to win or something, then copying the
data off the drive, reformatting it and placing the data back on would have
the effect of defragging a conventional hard disk with less wear and tear,
and so might make you feel good if you do it to your flash disk.
