Update: Sorry I didn't say I was using XP just forgot. I think my best bet is to format my c-drive and re-do it I have 2 20gig drives so I have moved some of my programs to my e-drive to save and if I can get my c drive back up to speed maybe I will be ok. What happened was my drive slowed so much with 18 gig of stuff with alot of junk that I thought I could get by not formatting but guess not I have tryed restore and cleans with no luck the only thing that has happened is it got worse. Whats a good format disk besides XP?
