I've been trying to find the solution to a problem that makes audio
(recording or playback) unreliable. Something is constantly accessing
the disks on this vista machine (2 internal SATA drives and 3 external
USB drives).
Turning the Volume Shadow Copy service off eliminates the disk
thrashing and makes it possible to record or play audio files again,
but it also kills System Restore.
I edited the Registry to add all files on drives D, M, N, and Z to
"FilesNotToSnapshot". That reduces the thrashing a lot, but it still
happens and there are still audio problems, albeit not as many.
This is a 2.66GHz dual-core system with 2GB of RAM. It gets a 4.0
Vista performance score, so it seems that it should be capable of
playing audio files (Winamp or Itunes) without skipping and
stuttering.
If there is a way to set VSS so that it's active only when a backup
application needs it and when the system needs it to create a Restore
Point, I'd like to know how to accomplish this.
Thanks!
