Any geeks out West Auckland way that can drop by on Mr Frosty and give him a hand ?

How long should it take to defrag about 28GB?

Depends on how big a mes sit is. At least a few hours but could be longer

Yeah, it's only 3% through. May take a while. 28GB is quite a lot of p0rn

FYI - It will run through quicker if you dont use it while it defrags - because every file you change means a restructure of the proccess and/or restarting the proccess, so maybe you could take a break from spamming the forum :P

Blah blah blah but then I would have nothing to do but watch "friends". BTW it's at 23% now.

Waylander - Start 'Defragging' your comp last thing at night and then go to bed and sleep... If you aint done it for ages.... then thats the best way to do it. It will sort everything out and put all ya bits and pieces back where they should be...

Oh and Defrag a lot more often - at least once a month... or more often ..

Before you start to defrag, clear out ya 'History' and 'cookies' and clear out any other shit ya dont want to keep.
I also do a Ad-aware and anti-virus manual check as well before defragging.

The more crap you download the more often defrag ya need to do...

**FROSTY:Me** · 8th June 2005, 19:09

well Im not bruddy spamming

Frosty - What are ya running... I am assuming XP.
How many RAM memory... I also assumming heaps.
As I am also assuming you have a newish comp.

Printer - Do you have a USB port at the back of ya comp?
If so put the CD in that came with the printer in the comp...
and follow all instructions.
Usually you dont plug in the printer until you are told to.

I cant come and help you out mate... I wish I could, but due to being stuck at home.... I am sure that someone else out there, can come up to your home and help you out.....
