BTW Why does my AmigaOS which is written for another processorand run under emulation make more use of the pcs hardware than windows?
?.
Yes. This freaks me out too. Opening a Win2K folder (err, sorry, a Drawer ;~) is _much_ quicker under UAE/OS3.9 than it is thru Win2K natively.
Slightly OT, yesterday I had to restore my PC due to major problems:
1. From boot up to HDD resting took an
Hour and Ten minutes :-x
2. 63% (!!!) fragmentation on the HDD
3. Event log showing
Hondreds of 'Bad Block' errors. Initially i feared the HDD was on it's way out, however.....
After 7hours :-x I eventually got it restored correctly and only lost work from the last 3 days. I think I nailed it down to some memory manager program I was trying out, which was obviously chucking files all over the place.
The reason it took 7 hours, was first I restored over the top and it was still the same. I formatted, then installed installed W2K and it was ok. I then restored my backup over the top and it was back to square one. Finally, I re-formatted, deleted the MBR with DOS and installed the backup. Voila! all is good in the world.
The moral of this drivel?
Don't use a memory manager, buy some RAM!

PS. The backup program is called Instant Recovery. It works. Recommended.
