What is the problem with File Fragmentation?

0

The problem of file fragmentation is that most of the data recovery techniques available must work on the assumption that all files are contiguous, that is, that they are stored in consecutive sectors one after the other from the beginning to the end of the file. The information to track fragmentation of a file is overwritten when the FAT or the MFT records are destroyed.
