Pretty damn amazed this even happened, I selected Defrag partition, it stated that it needed to restart to complete, since I was doing things I clicked cancel hoping to finish it later. The second I clicked cancel 100 error messages came up, the Paragon software showed 2 giant partitions and then the HDD spun down.
I'm now running Vista SP1 and intend to stay here. Farewell 7.
Well i havent had any of those problems!!!! Hasta la vista.. errr...vista baby!!!!!
Why would you forsake Windows 7 just because of 1 piece of software? Personally i've only ever used Windows native defrag & it works fine. Not all defrag software is compatible with Windows 7, and I wouldn't trust anything other than antivirus software 100%
I use software at my own risk, if I have to re-install because of a piece of software then I don't use that software again & look for an alternative.
Don't fault Win7, I've never installed a Paragon product since it hosed a RAID I had running XP Pro. It's another piece of doomware I added to my list.
I am pretty impressed by the resident defrag function in w7. It works much, much faster than Rasco's Perfect Disk, which is what I used to use on Vista. And you can schedule the W7 defrag just about anyway you want. It's all I need for defrag.
Now W7 back & restore functions are another matter alltogether. I found it impossible, after booting up into repair mode from the installation disk, to access an image I had created on an external USB drive using the W7 native backup function. Here Acronis TIH 2009 still rules and fortunately seems to be working flawless on my W7 installation.
I thought the W7 defragmenter did move boot files to the outside and that's what it's doing with the several passes it makes while defragging.
