Diskeeper questions?

[M8RIX]

I know that this is probably not the best place to ask these questions but I
could not find a Diskeeper forum, nor were my questions answered in the
FAQ's.
I am using Version: Diskeeper 2007 (11.0.703.0) on two different but
similarly configured computers. When I run an analysis on them I get very
different results.
Machine A shows a very small area of the HD as reserved for system files
whereas machine B shows nearly a third of the HD as reserved for system
files (2 gb vs. 50 gb approx) What is the normal allocation for system files
and how can I track down and adjust if necessary the excess on machine B?

If someone has had experience with Diskeeper or can point me in the right
direcction for answers to my questions I would truly appreciate it.

Have you contacted Diskeeper Tech support?

Tech support will not offer help to those who are using the 30 day trial.

System restore,recycle bin and temp. internet file size are the three
biggest settings that you can change that wastes space,also compare the
pagefile size on the two machines.

 

[M8RIX]

I know that it is not System Restore or the pagefile settings. So, that
leaves the Recycle bins. If the recycle bin/bins is/are set to hold up to
10% of the drive size and there are multiple users, is the total cumulative?
(5 users X 10% = 50%) Or is the 10% divided up among all user accounts?

Ok, you didn't mention it was the free trial. Actually you don't need a 3rd
party defragmenter.

Wow. First is was you're using a trial version of Diskeeper. Now, you got
5 users entering the foray. Both are part of the analysis you're asking to
make blindly.

Dave,
The 5 users was a "for instance". I simply wanted to know how the recycle
bin allocation is divided up for multiple users. If you don't know, feel
free to move on. As for the Trial Version aspect, it should make no
difference at all to the folks in here what kind of version it is. If they
can offer any insight I would be happy to have it since I am not able to get
it from Diskeeper.
You have been no help at all.

Try the support team for PerfectDisk. They are very helpful about all
defraggers not just their own PerfectDisk.
