  • Solution to the "White letters syndrome"

    HEY!!! I found out what is the reason for having white letters in Repetition tool:

    SYSTEM disk (hard drive) MUST be formatted to only 1 partition!!!

    Then the performance tool doesn't show anymore white letters!!!

    Thanks God I found it (after my system disk crashing completely!!! [*-)]

    I had to replace ti by a new one that was partitioned to the full disk space - AND violĂ !

    Hope this helps all of you with the same problems...

  • Wonderful Matt, [:D]

    I really would like to know, why this error occurs under that circumstances.
    The answer is somewhere out there...

  • matt, did you recieve my email? it's good to hear you got rid of this problem, although i dont think the reason is partitioning.
    we have a machine here with only one partition which is somehow crazy (produces corrupt files when compressing/burning) and shows this issue.
    another machine has three partitions and does not show it - both are W2K.

  • Hi Chris!

    Sorry - didn't get your message...

    What about going for XP (latest verison?)

    By the way: another subject could be harddrives - for whatever "bill gates"reasons!
    I am only working with IBM drives (the one that crashed on this buggy system was a Maxtor)...

    Just an idea... "and the x-file whistling goes on"...

    Well don't hope so [[;)]]

    See ya

  • hi matt,
    the old story - different experiences. we have a bunch of maxtors here (15 or 20) all 250GB and no problem so far, although IDE.
    on the other hand in the last 3 months 2 new IBM-SCA-disks dead, one SCSI-LVD (all three 146 GB) and 2 120GB-IDE didn't survive a single run.
    so i'm back with seagate (which i've preferred over years)
    i didn't find out what exactly has been corrupt on the machine with the strange-behaving perf-tool, the disk itself is still working fine ...
