Microsoft blew it on the allocation of disk space for system restore. The restore function seems to throw the data all over the drive, causing the defragger to be unable to adequately defrag the system files. -- Visit Family Radio Today http://www.familyradio.com/ |

I use perfectdisk pro 2008, and the map of the drive told me everything on this. The restore data (black on the PD map) is mostly in one 3 row band on the map, but blocks/chunks seem to appear all over the drive (even in with the installed files (green, blue, yellow and red). I have turned off SR for now, and will replace it with a regular backup - looking at NovaBackup. -- Visit Family Radio Today http://www.familyradio.com/ |
