Isaacson) Subject: Norton 4.5 SD unmovable blocks Message-ID: Keywords: norton utilities speeddisk Sender: news@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Indiana University Date: 27 Mar 91 18:24:09 GMT Lines: 18 It is my understanding that Norton's Speed Disk marks as unmovable any files that are hidden or that are otherwise identified as unmovable via the appropriate command within SD. On my machine (an Empac 386/20 with 40Meg drive--don't know what kind without looking under the hood) SD labels as Unmovable 45 blocks, in addition to the two system files and the FRECOVER.whatever. If I indeed have some hidden files, there certainly aren't enough to occupy 45 blocks. These unmovable blocks are scattered throughout the drive so, even after a complete defragmenting, SD reports only 98% defragmented files. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
