@ Bill / I checked, there's no spin down or anything like that set on ON.. I ran Process Explorer, but not sure what to look for really. I watched it when a freeze happened, but didn't see anything strange. FF shot up in processor needs and it's ram usage increased, but nothing else really...

Hi Larry, thx for reply.. I don't think my HD is failing. There's no weird sound or anything like that. I use WD Black for OS and it's the same setup since I build the system about 2 years ago. I now noticed the same problem with emails from FB. I get FB email status report for my FB Page...

Nobody has any idea what could be wrong? :(

Hi folks.. for the past month or so, I've noticed some weird delays in my system, mainly with my browser and/or Outlook Express when clicking/opening/saving links. I first noticed the problem on Facebook. When I would first open the FB page from a tab link, the fb site would open, but...

We're getting a bit OT here, but anyhow.. I do use external service for my most important files (around 10GB), but not for all my files (750GB+). It's simply not practical. Even with broadband connection, it takes a LONG time to upload 30-50GB that I do in a month. I was planning to encrypt one...

Thanks guys! @sourceninja: I installed Eraser few days ago, but soon removed it. It always crashed when I started it (the new, 6 version) :/ It seems to work similarly to PGP Shredder anyhow, so... @blackangst1: great, now I feel safe to pass them on :)

I did not use Quick Format option. Since I used the whole partition on the drive for TC volume, there isn't any "free space", right? I'm erasing the drive that's connected via usb, so I didn't use that dban thingy, don't want to erase all the drives it finds ;)

Well, I think I can answer my own question.. it seems to work. I first formatted the drive, then created a TC volume on the whole drive and formatted the drive again. I then used 3 recovery software tools, 2 didn't do anything (reported empty drive), PC Inspector however did find files, BUT it...

Hi folks! I have a bunch of "small" drives that don't need anymore and will give them to some friends that can use them. So I'd like to wipe them clean, before giving them out. I have PGP and it's shredder is good for safely deleting files, but it's too slow for the whole drive. Now I'm...

Thx guys! @oakenfold: winzip is not an option. I need encryption for my working drive (which I access daily) as well, not just backups. @blackangst1: I do understand how TC works, I've actually read the whole manual ;) My point was, I still have all the files inside one container/drive...

Yes, I know I can encrypt the whole drive (doing this as I type; for test purposes), BUT the same problem remains. If there's one error, one corruption, I can't access anything on the whole drive, correct? I've read loads of posts on TC forum and saw loads of horror stories.. people lost the...

@ blackangst1: well, yeah. If I have a container sized 1TB, OS sees it as one file, so if that "file" corrupts, I loose everything. Right? @ n0cmonkey: I would actually prefer to encrypt the whole drive. My "Work" drive is divided in 3 parts: Web, Design and Photo. I'd prefer to encrypt...

Thx for reply Blackangst1! I've been playing with TC for a while now, it does seem to work nicely. But my main concern is the possibility of an error in a single file corrupting the whole volume :S That sounds scary to me. I was hoping for something that would treat one file as one file...

Hi folks! I'm a photographer, I do a lot of commercial work as well as private projects. I have double backup of my photos at home and one external as well and that works fine for me. But last week a friend of mine (a photographer as well) told me something that got me really worried. He was...
