I've been seeing an intermittant problem with WinHex for about two years now--so I decided it was about time to see if someone else could resolve it. "Taking a snapshot" of my C partition can take either 10 seconds or 15 to 20 minutes, and I never know which in advance. CHKDSK/R doesn't help (I thought it might be a free space problem). Nor does the complete overwriting and wiping of the physical drive, then restoring from a backup (which I perform 3 or 4 times a month anyway). Ok, so I'm paranoid. I'm running WIN XP SP2 with a 250 GB "SATA" hard drive. There is nothing exotic present as far as hardware, software, or device drivers. Just the usual stuff everybody has. The most puzzling part of this issue, to me, is the intermittant aspect. Funny that after two years, I still don't see any correlation between the WinHex behavior and anything else on my computer system. Please advise. I'm out of ideas to try. Thank you, barryb | ||

Here is a way to accelerate taking the volume snapshot if necessary: Options | Security | [x] Quick snapshots w/o cluster allocation. |
