Solved How to run TRIM

[ICIT2LOL]

Havae just fitted a Crucial M4 and it is running like a misile, but cannot find out if it is runnig TRIM.

A Google told me to run "fsutil behavior query disbaledeletenotify" but after a brief flash of the screen nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong.

Hi,

Did you open the CMD as administrator?

TRIM is enabled by default for SSD's, so you should be good to go

And enjoy your new M4

When you say Administrator just so I have it exactly right I take it you mean my status in the UAC settings? I'm the only one using this machine right now (or likely to).

You must right click on the Command prompt icon (located in Start Menu/All Programs/Accessories) and select Run as administrator.

Sorry pb but all I have is run or the cmd in accessories not Run as administrator, and both give the same screen If I could get a snip I would oh might take a photo and send.

Hi,

Right-click on CMD. There will be an option to 'Run as adminstrator' - select that. Now you running CMD as administrator.

You can also access it by:

Click Start Orb
In search box, type cmd
Right-click on cmd, and then select the 'Run as administrator' option that appears.

Golden
