- Hello, I own Stacker 2.0 but I've never permanently installed it
- on my hard disk because of reliablity problems. I also find it VERY
- awkward to have an extra compressed drive created for each uncompressed
- logical drive that exists. I have C: D: E: and F: partitions on two
- drives - Stacker then creates G: H: I: and J: !
-
- Lately, I've heard some sketchy information on IIT's XtraDrive, but
- it looks promising. For those who have it, could you comment on it's
- compatibility with Window's swapfile, and whether I can use PC Tools'
- Compress or Norton's defragger on an XtraDrive compressed disk? For
- those who say that it is slow, _how_ slow? And if I understand correctly,
- XtraDrive does not require you to have an uncompressed partition?
-
- Thanks in advance...
