Cheese Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 2 times now, I have run the latest beta version, v1.02.085 and it has DELETED my secondary partition, the first time, I lost GIGS of data and was NOT happy about this, today, I ran it again after that last time, which was months ago, and the thing deleted my D partition AGAIN. WTF is going on here? If this happens again, I am going to have to recommend against using this until issue is looked into and fixed as this is a HUGE bug.

YoKenny Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I use Defraggler on my XP Home system that has an 80GB hard drive partitioned into two 40GB partitions and I have not had a problem like you describe.

Cheese Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Also, it says my version is Beta even though it's the same version number.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Need to clarify this, the partition doesn't get deleted, but the drive letter disappears and the drive is no longer a active partition until i reformat it and assign it drive letter. I will try to test this and get screen shots of before and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Also, it says my version is Beta even though it's the same version number.... Did you install a SP3 beta at one time? Did you un-install the beta before installing the GA release? All of my systems indicate SP3 without any beta indication If I remember correctly a SP3 beta really messed up my XP Home system and the only way to recover was to FORMAT and re-install XP Home then install all of the updates. I ordered the SP2 CD from Microsoft and used that to speed up the installation but there still was about 60 more patches to get to the current SP2. I now have a SP3 CD that I ordered in case I have to go through this process again.

I uninstalled it this morning and installed a new install and it's showing the correct version now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
