How can you possibly determine, for sure, that unnecessary reader movement
was not a factor in HD failure. Or, come to think of it, have you never had
one fail?...Right

Moving the page file to a different partition on the same HD causes
a
performance hit due to the fact the head is constantly moving back

to write to/read from it.

Hi Tom,

Are you using one of the computers at the library? I use the one
at
the
office in my apartment complex. I think it is faster than the one
at
the
local library. I'm not sure though cause I don't got no
millisecond
meter.
Do you know where I can get one of them?

This must be the case with both of us,.....in someone's narrow
mind.

Have a good one, JAX

With all that equipment and experience, why do you never have anything to
say that is constructive? All you ever post is something to try and "slam"
others who are, at least, trying to help someone who is having a problem
with their computer.

Those of us who, are less knowledgeable than you, are offering the best we
can. Most all are none destructive suggestions. What suggestions have you
made?
