unfragment a defragmented iso?

are their any way you can unfragment a defragmented iso file?

I assume you meant unfragment a "fragmented" iso file?

If it's just some files, like a decrypted DVD movie disc, you can just mount the ISO in Daemon Tools, or burn it, and then copy all the files to a directory on the PC hard drive. Then, re-build those files into a new ISO -- or , make the files into a new disc. When the program builds the ISO from the files, or burns them to a disc, it will place them in completely unfragmented. The drawback to this method is you will lose any special positioning the files had on the disc. For a DVD movie, this will not matter, but for a PS2 disc, etc, this might mess it up. You would have to use advanced tools to get the PS2 files back into the right position, for example.

Due to the nature of an ISO it shouldn't be fragmented in the first place, since when ISOs are created, they are written one complete file after the next, as I explained above. So I'm not sure why you think you have a fragmented ISO?

no i defragmented the the file using powerdefregmenter, becaus the guide said i have to do that. now i want to play my games using opl.0.9 instead of opl.0.8, but i cant because it says the the game is defragmentet.

I think that you really mean "fragmented". If you tried using PS2ESDL and it gave a similar warning, your game is really fragmented.

Since you used Powerdefragmenter, it's not too surprising. That's why I keep telling people time and again to stop using that tool, which can't complete its job properly under certain conditions.

Instead, use the Auslogics disk defragmenter and see that no fragmented regions remain.

i fragmented the game with Auslogics disk defragmenter and now it work when i use my usb thumb stik. but is it not working with my usb external hdd. the reason why i namely wanna use opl.0.9 is because i wanna load games of my external hdd instead of usb. when i use my xternal hdd on opl.0.8 the screen will frezze with yellow screen, so thats why i wanna try opl.0.9 to see if it will work their. but now when i press run the external hdd will just keep loading, and i have tried runnig it many times now. what can this problem be?

If you get USB device problems like that, it's because OPL is incompatible with your USB device.

You defragment files with a disk defragmenter utility. The process of defragmenting basically makes fragmented files contiguous. Fragmentation is the exact opposite of defragmentation... lol.
