This is not another discussion about 'How to defragment a native Mac partition/drive' I've been roaming around lots of forums and everybody ask how to defragment a Mac Drive or Partition. And the answers are always like 'Why would you even want to defragment a your Mac. OSx automatically does it for you. Mac is so wonderful that.
Here we provide the best USB format tool. Try it to format a write-protected USB flash drive, format USB drive back to the original size, format USB drive to FAT32 or NTFS or deal with other complex USB formatting problems.
Bla bla bla.' I GOT IT, Ok.? This time is different, I would like to know. What tool should I use to defragment a NON-Mac Disk/Partition?? Say that you happend to have an external hard drive, which is in FATx or NTFS (Windows) format, then you attach it to your Mac. You want to defragment the disk from there because you just dont have windows Laptop/PC on hand. Is this even possible from Mac, given that Mac OS is so wonderful that does not even need to defrag its file system?
I hope everybody understand my question before giving me the same answers once again. Thank you very much! Even though a Windows formatted external drive may need defragging every now and then it certainly does not need to be done on a Mac computer. If you don't have a Windows PC handy, or one at all, then wait until you do and do the defrag on that PC. In the case that you don't have a Windows PC at all then your external drive should not be formatted with any of the Windows formats. That is IMHO just foolish. If you have no Windows PCs why in the world would you have an external formatted FAT32, exFAT or at the worst NTFS as Mac can't write to NTFS formatted drives.
Now if you have a boot camp partition with Windows installed on it then boot to Windows to do the defrag. To asnwer your real question. No it is not possible, at least not with OS X natively without having some add-on program and even then I'm not sure it can be done successfully.

Thank you very much! Use DiskWarrior, respect your fellow users here, and perhaps stop with the multicolour, multi-font sized posts, which annoy the h#ll out of people that would normally help you.
