It was about the time that I was thinking along those lines, that I gave up and formatted the drive... I'll never know. A soon as I build my megga machine, I will repartition the drive on this one to give more room for C:
The idea was that Apps would live in D: Docs in E: --- but installations seem to still put so much into the operating system that I occasionally run out of disc space. This surprised me ‘cos I let the virtual mem play in D: and not C: and the raw installation leaves 770 ish before progs are loaded into D: . Just what reduces the disc to circa 200 mb before any temp files etc. are written I just can not understand. The sector size is large, but presumably not as large as it would be if i put everything in one unpartitioned drive.

Whats the situation with the more modern OS's? Is there a better FAT system? Does it still need de-fragging? And is there a case for changing to FAT 32 on an old steam driven 266
