  1. Hi, I thought this might be a suitable place to ask. Well, the question is; how much would i need to save if I wanted to create a custom made top-of-the-line gaming PC purely designed and will run only games? I'm having a rough guess around $4000.. <_<:blink: not including thos nice visual things like neons and LED lights etc all around and inside the computer....how about anyone else? How much do you think it's gonna cost? :wacko: Maybe with all those nice looking things that might make my computer look like it came from some really hi-tech world - I'd say about $6000...?

  2. Not sure about Win98, but I recall that Diskeeper made the defrag at least for Win2000, WinXP and Win2003 Server.

    I know one that's called Diskeeper 9 home edition that I still got, still supports 2k to whatever OS present at the time....Wish there was one for Win9x line....there probably is, but I don't have it....It's a pretty good defragger to add.

     

     

    @ kroozer, But since 2k and onwards, they don't show the little square clusters of files/folders been moved, except shows lines on the screen agains a white background as free space....

     

    I've pulled out a screenshot from my win ME PC and it says it has something to relate to Symantec product as you said....post-61541-0-15637300-1334639306_thumb.png But there's no help or about thingy in the diskfragmenter itself!

     

    @OT, thanks for helping, I'll just not worry about and get on with life....it's just too complicated to recover files from this program and google it for every single file I found - that'll take forever if it states lots of zip files.....!

  3. Many file types - but not all - have a file signature of a few bytes at the start of the file data which identify it as a jpg, or flv or doc etc. Whilst a Recuva normal scan can extract the file name and extension - and thus the file type - from the file table a deep scan has to determine the file type from what's in the file data - the file signature. Simple file types, txt or dat files etc, have no file signature and can't be identified with a deep scan, they're just chunks of data. There are lists of file sigs that can be Googled. As you can't police the use of file sigs perhaps some application is using a sig that Recuva is interpreting as zip. Or perhaps some application has downloaded many zip files.

     

    There's nothing wrong with FAT32. I have looked at NTFS internals and can bore people for hours on the subject. I haven't looked at FAT, so I can only bore for a few minutes.

     

    ...right....so I have to Google the file name? Well, I don't really remember having that much zip files, nor had this computer been connected to the net yet....if I can't recover all the folders and files, I guess I will have to eventually find those files and or folders, either on the internet or from another computer I got....god damn, wish there was a manual save and re-load button in real life....like in some games....so I can reverse what I did and just format the *right* driver this time without forgetting again....but of course somthing like that cannot possibly come true....however there is one way - if it works...commit suicide, be born and about a few minutes before this and there you are, a new life. but yes, I do know no babies can grow that fast after birth...and get that smart either....

     

    @ Kroozer,yes well, I didn't want to bother anyone there....besides, I got my answer now; thanks to you! You mean windows' disk defragmenter? I think that was made by microsoft, otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about....

  4. If you're running deep scan then there will be a lot of files with an ascending number as the file name, followed by the extension type. This is because the file name is not held as part of the file, and Recuva can't establish what the original file name was.

    yes, I ran a deep scan on my 40GB HDD because it didn't find anything on the normal scan.

    The file signature in the first few bytes of the file determine what file type is, and what extension to use. Perhaps you have some or many files with a file sig that's being interpreted as zip.

    um, can you uh explain that to me? I'm not following....

    I'm no great expert in FAT, which I guess you're using in Win ME.

    I'm using FAT32 filesystem. Surely there isn't much difference between NTFS and FAT32, just one can support higher data bytes than the other, has encryption thingy, performance is static on NTFSs, but FA32 would be better off on smaller data drives. I'm pulling all of this from my head - I do hope all of them are right...

  5. Well, basically what the title states....is there? I mean the latest but yet still support windows 98SE, 98, 95(all editions), 3.1, 3, ME and others that I don't know but older....?

     

    Also - this may be not relevant to this section but it's quick question of confirmination: Is Cccleaner v2.36 the last version to be supported by windows 98SE and ME, or is there a slightly newer one?Kind Regards,

    The New Guy. :)
