   No.. that would be TWO ENTIRELY different events.   
      
   What Rick asked was data being moved due to defrag not delete or   
   reinstall. If you want to detect delete and reinstall wouldn't   
   checking the time and date be th easiest approach?   
      
   For the defrag, that gets tricky since you will need to get the file   
   alocation table info.
