Guest Entelechy Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 A few months ago when I ran defrag I got an error message about something in MCC not operating properly with Diskeeper lite. Since then large amounts of file space are appearing as fragmented (red), even though the report says that the disk is fine. At the same time, the available sapce on my hard drive has decreased to about 10% (from about 40%). I have tried to open MCC but could not decipher what to do with it. I also downloaded the newer trial version for Diskeeper and got the same outcome- including a warning about volume space. Since diskeeper will not let me look at the drive map I cannot see what the files are that are appearing. I am running XP Tablet SP3 on a Lenovo x61T. All updates are current. Any help appreciated.

Guest Entelechy Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: Defrag and Cpacity mystery Thanks Gerry, Probably should have said that I have done all that. We are talking about what looks like (if I eye it up) about 50 GB worth of data. So my guess is that this is something way past the basics. As I said, it started when the defrag program reported problems talking with MCC.
