By the data drive, you mean the D drive (storage)?

[iammykyl]

Yes.

Just out of interest, did it take 3 hours for the transfer steps.

[netrate]

no it worked quite quickly in fact.  I think it was about an hour.

 

When I am trying to defrag the D drive, it keeps reverting to the C drive.  I selected the D drive, right click, properties and go to DEFRAG and the following comes up.

Trun off scheduler, then post another screenshot

[netrate]

I did not turn it on, so I am unsure how to turn off the scheduler.

[iammykyl]

Click the big bar on the right Configure Scheduler

In the window that opens Untick  Run on a schedule > click OK.   Take a screenshot of the remaining open window. 

[netrate]

Did that, and tried to re-run the defragment, it still comes up as the C drive.

Funny that D faith is not showing, will look into that.

As far as Defragment the C drive, in this case being an SSD, Defrag should not be used as it causes excessive wear:  SSDs have TRIM, algorithms that move Data around the "blocks" freeing up space and consolidating Data as required. 

 

Finsh the steps in Post #200.

Going out now, will post again this evening. 

[netrate]

I will do and post tomorrow.  It is past midnight here and I have work tomorrow.  Thanks for the help, I will check back tomorrow morning.

System restore - made two points, just to see.  All of the others disappeared.  Not sure why, maybe MR will be my best way of ensuring of a backup anyway.
