Read documentation carefully. a) MyDefrag's "Monthly" optimization should not be used repeatedly like this, because it literally reorders every file on your drive. So, that's right, even one change could result in a need to redo the whole drive. b) You don't have to stop the defrag, you can pause it. c) You don't even have to pause it...you can keep using the computer while the defrag is running. and d) Make sure to disable hibernation and thus delete the hibernation file before doing any defragmenting, or else there's no point...because your existing hibernation file will NOT be defragmented. - TK _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
