OK, I've installed it. But can you confirm that you're suggesting I
use the SCAN tab, not the default BENCHMARK? My main drive is 750 GB
and I also have another identical one for backups, plus an external
1TB drive. I suspect even the first (C
will take a long time, so
I'll do that overnight.
CPU is an Intel CoreT 2 Quad Core Q9450 (2.66 GHz, 12 MB cache, 1333
MHz) with PCI-Express Mainboard - SLI nForce 650i SLI(C55)
Meanwhile, before I do any scans, here are the pastes you requested
from the Info & Health tabs respectively. One initial query that's not
directly related to my post is why my two HDs are not running under
UDMA Mode 7. Whatever that is, I assume it's faster?
