Solution to the "White letters syndrome"

[Matt 1]

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 violà!

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 ...
