For C: which has 48.7 GB free of 83.4 GB:
Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 9.873 GB
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 10.457 GB
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 12.519 GB
I get this Event Viewer IFORMATION Event 33:
The oldest shadow copy of volume C: was deleted to keep disk space usage for
shadow copies of volume C: below the user defined limit.
For E: (My Recovery Drive which I never had checked to do System Restore
Points) I got the same INFORMATION as C: (E: has 2.6 GB free of 9.6 GB) then
I got this Event Viewer ERROR:
The shadow copies of volume E: were aborted because the shadow copy storage
could not grow due to a user imposed limit. Volsnap Event ID 36
Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 1.156 MB
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 100 MB
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 897.572 MB
I guess E: is just a partion of C:?
I got all the above INFORMATION & ERROR messases in Event Viewer after I did
my first Defrag after using my new Vista Ulitmate 64 bit HP notebook for 4
days. My machine loaded more quickly after I did the defrag because I had
added many new programs.
Thank also Bert for the information on the right-click on the Command Prompt.
So far I DO NOT like Vista.
