Full-up hard drive!

[lastlid]

I have a Windows 7 laptop just now. Its about a year old. I run Norton 360 on it for antiviral purposes and it also runs an optimisation and cleanup function which keeps things running sweetly. I have never heard of the "pretech file" - not sure why.

One thing I do know is that troubles can happen when a hard drive is full. Makes it hard to run the optimisation and cleanup and defrag functions and if so deleting a large file or two can help in this regard to create some space for such functions to do their job.

I havent come across the duplication of files that you refer to.

I havent come across the duplication of files that you refer to.

because I'm lazy, i copy my sd cards from camera's, mobiles, Nds etc, onto My Pc hard disk b4 i copy them to a usb stick(s) and dvd then wipe them from the Sd card (so with a bit of luck i've got 3 copies) the only problem is knowing which files i've already copied from the sd cards, unless i wipe the sd every time i copy the pics/videos, and many of the pictures have meaningless file names generated by the camera or whatever. so keeping track can be a difficult job, the program i use does a file size, checksum so i know if i have duplicates and can delete them
