re: ADD?Replace 12Gig Drive. Dell 450MH Thursday, January 15, 2004 at 7:36 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Limey (11 messages posted) Thanks! Good info on the max size: I had no idea. I have previously done a great deal of axe work on all such files and folders. Taking off all image files was helpful, but I still have only a Gig to play with, and since I had started to do some audio CD recording, that doesn't go very far. Speaking of max size: my macine takes 4 hours to defrag. A 30 +gig would, presumably, take a day. (Not only that but it has disrupted Norton NAV files on 4 occasions, even though NAV is not running). How is it possible to defrag a drive in a reasonable time - a 30 Gig, for example? Thanks for the followup!
