Free space?
How much drive space should I keep free on a 80 GB HD - before I start encountering problems.
I have 7 GB free now, and I have a program that will defragment at 4-5% free space.
This computer is loaded with audio files and really only serves as a stereo - so I am not to concerned about performance other than the want that it should work!
The only other consideration is in the fall, when I have set up my folding farm - this baby' ll be on board.

I have noticed a slight performance drop - and this is also what MS defragmenter suggests.
On a side note - what, if any degradation happens to an audio file when copied? - Wikepedia says zilch - but I do have a few rare Flac files I would like to keep in the optimum shape.
Did it fragment into oblivion:D
Seriously - everything else worked fine?
Considering.
This is one reason why the music industry cares so much about piracy now, when they didn't in the days of cassette tapes. A cassette tape is magnetic and analog, and a copy is never as good as the original, so making a copy of a tape for a friend might encourage them to buy the original to have a good copy. CDs and other digital files, on the other hand always copy perfectly, meaning there is no practical rweason to buy the original after you have the copy.
worked fine, I never did any performance tests or anything, like I said it was junk from a format a while back...
I have heard this somewhere before - that would make my ratio way off:bigggrin:
What?
I'm not making the logical leap; how does this relate to the OP? It looks like it was intended for a DRM thread.
Thelemech asked this question in an aside, and I went overboard on my answer. I should stop posting and talking to students at the same time...
that probably was a double barrelled side question!
