Hello All. The good news are that a good defragmentation application exists: It's O&O Defrag, available for a 30-day complete trial at http://www.oo-software.com/en/index.html. 30 days should be enough to repartition, I think. This tools offers several defragmentation algorithms, and it can al

How about copying your stubborn chunk W to V, login through a rescue disk (windows one, I guess) rename W Wold rename V W login again, rm Wold, run defrag, see if anything has improved, repeat until satisfied? (the rescue disk part is of course because I assume these are system files, needed for t

2003-10-08 Thread Eli Billauer
some time ago you asked ( in haifux ) about PCMCIA USB adapter. Did you find one that works well ? The answer is yes and no. Yes -- In Atid Machshevim, Grand Kanyon and other places, an EDIMAX adapter. No -- It was cardbus. My laptop only has 16-bit PCMCIA interface, so the card didn't work

[Haifux] Using a non-vanilla kernel on installation

2003-10-08 Thread Eli Billauer
Another thing: What if I want to install Red Hat 9.0, running the installation itself on a kernel other that the one supplied? Is there any easy way? The obvious (?) way is too take the boot.iso and change the kernel image and modules in it. I'm not sure that will work 100%, but that's a start.

Hello again. To begin with, I've ran defrag a zillion of times. There is this stubborn chunk that doesn't go away. And keep in mind that I don't need a resizing tool. I need a reallocation of files (which is commonly done with defrag). Now Partition Magic: There has indeed been rumors about PM

Give PartitionMagic a try, if you can. I don't know how it works with XP, but at least with Windows 2000 It does make wonders ;-). Although not being free, I think it's an excellent piece of software. Emil On Wed, 8 Oct 2003, Eli Billauer w
