Firefox profile is in the standard profiles directory on disk C, the same of the OS ... no, i have not tried disabling Kaspersky, the PC is connected 24/7, so i have AV and firewall always enabled. Anyway. i can do a thing ... in the next day, i have to assemble another machine that i can use...

Thanks. Yes, all the disks are phisical separate disks, a 500Gb for the system and programs, and 3 x 1Tb disks respectively for archive (E), backup (F) and syncserver (G) ... the G disk is not used from any other program. Also ,i'm using XP Pro SP3 with all the last updates from MS server...

Ok, i had the occasion to make some tests, and these are the results. First of all, tried with the syncserver disk ... with "forced unlocking" DISABLED, it gave me 178 errors that say cluster tips "could not be erased because the file was either compressed, encrypted or a sparse file.", and...

Hi, i made that test, on the same disk, first used some windows program for open files (mediaplayer, word, excel, winrar, and some others), then closed all the programs (except the syncserver and firefox) and launched an erase unused space, with the option "forced unlocking of locked files"...

Hi, i have the following settings: Integrate into windows explorer: enabled Default file and unused space methods: both set on single pass pseudorandom Force locked files to be unlocked: enabled Replace erased files ... (plausible deniability): disabled Automatically remove tasks which run...

Hi, thanks i understood now, then (sorry, my English is self-learned, so it's not too good) ... residual "sparse" files was survived to multiple copy operations, and, i suppose, does not exist any way for eliminate this attribute in an alternative way ( Does Microsoft say nothing about this...

Then i have no ideas ... other than, maybe, that the original files was downloaded from the net using some torrent or P2P programs, maybe ... but on a different machine, "sparse" is still set ? I mean ... all those files, i received them from a friend that have a big collection of them ...

Thanks. No, i'm not using bittorrent or other similar softwares ... also, the files are not on the syncserver dedicated disk (that use sparse files), but only on the other 3 disks ... i suppose it may be defrag program guilty, but i'm not sure about that, and also, i suppose that there is no...

Thanks. Yes, i seen the exceptions in the user guide, but it does not refer to "sparse" files, only to encrypted and compressed ones ... so this happens also for sparse ones, and also for the direct erasure operations (i mean, when i select a file and say to the program to erase it directly)...

Hi, sorry for double posting. Today, when i tried eraser launched manually over some large files (Single pass by default, old toons, usually all over 300Mb, someone 700Mb or similars), it gave me always the same error for each file. The file name disappear from the folder immediately, same as...

Thanks. I checked with other users and can do it this way ... next sunday, i can ask the main programmer to disconnect its own server (for safety, cause they interact), make a backup copy of the files on another disk, and then start the syncserver, asking to some of the users to left their...

Hi, and thanks again for the informations. I don't know exactly how the program manage the reserved space, i have not built it personally (in the workgroup i'm not a programmer, my main parts are hardware tech, prototypes planning/building/testing, and sometimes 3D modeling ... my knowledge...

Thanks, i think i've understood all (hope :)) Anyway, the syncserver is not a true "full server" unit, is a program that is running on a PC connected permanently to the internet, and that use a separate disk for store the files of the workgroup and keep them synchronized each time one of them...

Hi, i have a doubt ... if i plan a scheduled cleanup for the unused space (or also just a hand-launched one) on a machine that is running a permanent syncserver program, does this affect the files handled from the program ? Basically, the syncserver is simply a program that run in background in...
