| 91822 | 2002-10-22 21:03:00 | just been trying out my new nortons system works (thx pcworld :)) however when i ran speed disk i failed to notice that goback was not in the "don't move" list. so the defrag(speed disk) tried to defrag goback. end result- pc wouldn't boot, repair tools had trouble trying to repair, couldn't install windows 'over the top' (had even more errors). so i've spend most of last night formating and reinstalling :( got a few of MS updates to do then i shall get back to posting the news. |

| 91826 | 2002-10-23 02:38:00 | Nope, it's the full thing, and comes with an offer to upgrade to the 2003 version. There's also on the CD a DOS version of Tom's Boot Disk, Ultimate Boot Disk, Windows 98, 98SE, Me, boot disks. |

| 91827 | 2002-10-23 04:22:00 | I use diskeeper myself its faster snd doesnt clash with goback you can also surf while its defragging | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 91828 | 2002-10-23 04:34:00 | the problem really arose due me installing defrag after goback. when goback installs it tells the defrag progs that it is an unmovable file. ideally nortons should have reconnised such a comman program as goback and set it to unmoveable. what really bugged me was that you had to have IE installed for nortons to install. (norton comes with IE6 on the disk). diskkeeper might be a go if nortons follows microsofts lead. |
