42515 2002-04-08 01:30:00 Hi I used 98lite to remove IE and now when I try to defrag my HD with Norton Speed disk or the windows defrag program it keeps restarting due to diskwites. No other programs are running at the time. Any suggestions?
Thanks

42517 2002-04-08 01:46:00 Close your system. Restart into safe mode (pressF8 before windows loads) and run the Norton Speed disk from there.

When completed, close the system and let it reboot.

42518 2002-04-08 01:53:00 if i remember rightly nortons speed disk won't run in safe mode(i'll have to try it later to confirm).

sounds like the windows swap file is resizeing. go and put a decent size minimum swapfile size in. for eg 100-200meg depending on how much ram you have. also check see if you have nortons optomiser. if so give that a run before running speed disk.

42519 2002-04-09 01:06:00 Thankyou for your comments. I found the problem which did not show up in programs running (ctrl, alt,del). Sygate, my firewall program was running causing the problem somehow. I defraged and Speed disk fixed some problems. On reboot I have a new problem which I shall ask about under the heading 'Invalid disk message' and its not a floppy.
Thanks again,
asdex
