2nd PC - Asrock AliveNF6G|dual core x6000|2x512PC2-5300
XP Home boot hd SATA 80gb ...C:\
....and a IDE 80gb on IDE0 for storage, and Ghost backups. ...D:\
1536mb pagefile was on the default size and located boot drive C:\
An hour ago I set 128mb fixed swapfile on C:\
and a 1404mb fixed swapfile on D:\
....and set Perfectdisk to offline defrag meta and paging file/s, on those
two drives on reboot - and rebooted.
It whistled through C:\ in no time at all, and has gone into slow motion for
the offline defrag of drive D:\ cuurently at 34%
and looks like it's going to take the all the rest of the afternoon.
D:\ was not heavily fragmented and has over 50gb empty space - there are two
or three Ghost backup folders on there, each about 4gb in size and each is a
"spanned" backup in 1gb chunks.
....any idea as to why it's taking so long to shunt things around on that
drive ? i.e. it never used to take this long !
regards, Richard
