We already have a nice NTFS/FAT defrag tool which can easily be merged into the core system if need be (although I think a revamped GUI would be sufficient) I'll drop the code into rosapps so we don't loose it, it's almost impossible to find a copy on the net now.
I also dropped a copy of format/fsck.fat in rosapps a while back. The code is readonly as someone with better programming skills than me needs to check the math to make sure writes are safe but according to our testing it looked good. Its by no means a properly solution as Windows uses some dll for fslib or something that exports a bunch of C++ classes and COM objects to handle filesystem formatting but for limited purposes of fat16/32 support it should work.
