HDD is divided into 2 NTFS partitions:

I fixed the problem by removing the option Cluster tip blabla...

However can someone explain me in plain english:
1 what kind of information is stored in the cluster tip
2 how it come it works on my F: and not an my C: drive

(For 2 I gess it got something to do with primary partition on wich XP is running)

Very very impressive error report

When eraser freezes during a freespace erase it is due to disk corruption or it being blocked by another application.

Try this to fix any corruption:

First run an backup of the PC

Then:

chkdsk Drive: /f , example 'chkdsk c: /f' and reboot

next empty the recycle bin manually.

finally turn off system restore reboot and turn it on again - warning here this will destroy your ability to rollback any installs.

i did some research and i understand the cluster tip thing (if you ppl just called it slack space )

there are no hard drive errors i, i did the complete checkup so also with /r

i'll keep this topic informed until i've found the problem

perhaps a stupid thought however, doesn't eraser needs to be on a different drive running while erasing?

I did a search on that file/folder with what i saw that was visible
It seems it gets stuck on

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\REMOVED@hotmail.com\SharingMetadata
\REMOVED@hotmail.com\DFSR\Staging\CS{A1F49541-A994-DD28-7F11-39D13B26CAE9}\01

and inside this folder there is a strange FRX file wich I aint able to view or open with TextPad

However I think it seems to be a file containing info for a share map on MSN Live, I've removed the share map with a friend of mine and I'll see if it will take any effect now
