Help Fragged Hardrive
« on: July 18, 2004, 10:10:06 AM »
I have a Dell 8200 P4 2.0Ghz Geforce4 MX 420. a 40gb ATA hardrive I just installed 1gb of Samsung ECC PC800 RDRAM on top of the 512mb I had, for a total of 1.5GB . I am running Nortons Anti virus. After the New Patch 6 I noticed my hardive was Fragged. I tried to use Disk Defrag. from Windows xp. and there are two huge chunks of Red still there.(15-20%) at least, (says it can't unfragg some files) I've tried to unactivate tex preload and defrag again after a fresh reboot.  same thing, does this have anything to do with the new patch or the new Ram Configuration?
