Done a few tasks and now running a defrag programme and its take 40 mins to get to 1% so could be running all night at this rate |

I know it's been re set to factory settings a couple of times but I don't know how long ago. I wonder if I should do it for her |

Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 21:37 on 9th November 2014 Tease It certainly helps to know a bit about these things. I have built them from scratch before |
rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 21:43 on 9th November 2014 Steak Built from scratch, I wouldn't have a clue. Could you tell me the route to the defrag option, and I'll do it for her tomorrow, weather's looking iffy so it will give me something to do |
