PLATFORMS AND OPERATING SYSTEM VERSIONS SUPPORTED ===================================================== Diskeeper Home Edition is supported on Intel x86 (or compatible) platforms running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows XP Home and Media Center Editions. Note that different editions of Diskeeper support different ranges of the Windows operating systems. See the Table of Supported Operating Systems for a chart of the different Diskeeper editions and the Windows versions each supports. B. OVERVIEW OF DISKEEPER 8.0 ============================= Throughout its history, Diskeeper has improved with each new version. Diskeeper Home Edition sets the standard in simplified disk defragmentation with innovative new features and approaches to solving fragmentation problems for home users. From its trademark "Set It and Forget It" scheduling to the comprehensive performance and reliability analysis, Diskeeper Home Edition is designed to solve your disk fragmentation problems permanently, and keep you informed about the condition of all your disks. Diskeeper Home Edition is only one member of the comprehensive Diskeeper family of defragmentation products. There are different editions for everyone, from home users to huge enterprise IT departments. The Diskeeper lineup also includes: o Diskeeper Professional Edition o Diskeeper Server Standard Edition o Diskeeper Server Web Edition o Diskeeper Server Enterprise Edition o Diskeeper Server Datacenter Edition o Diskeeper Administrator Edition See the Table of Supported Operating Systems at the end of this Readme file for a chart of the different Diskeeper editions and the Windows versions each supports. The following list summarizes the most important Diskeeper features: o Wide Array of Diskeeper Editions- Starting with version 8.0, the Diskeeper family of products has been expanded to offer specialized defragmentation of Windows operating systems ranging from Windows 95 through Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition. See the Table of Diskeeper Editions in the Diskeeper Help for the complete product lineup. o New Descriptive Interface- The Diskeeper interface has been completely re-designed to be more intuitive and informative. Common commands are grouped together in the Command pane, and a group of tabbed panes show you a wide variety of information. Diskeeper shows you the condition of your disks, and provides suggestions for improving or maintaining your disks. o Performance and Reliability Analysis- Diskeeper now collects and displays data regarding the performance and reliability of your disk volumes. This information allows you to be more proactive in the management and maintenance of your computers. It should be noted that the first performance analysis is based on pre-determined disk performance values measured as a part of disk performance research done by Executive Software. To get a more accurate performance measurement of your actual disks, Diskeeper must scan your drives to measure their performance. Since this measurement can briefly slow down your computer, this scan operation is disabled by default, but you can turn it on easily. The "Set performance data options" option is described in the Diskeeper help system. o Set It and Forget It Operation- Diskeeper is designed to operate without your intervention. Set a schedule for the times you want Diskeeper to run, then sit back and let Diskeeper take care of your disk fragmentation. Of course, you can also run Diskeeper manually. o Smart Scheduling- This feature allows Diskeeper to automatically determine the optimum defragmentation schedule for each disk volume individually, and adjust that schedule as disk usage changes. Diskeeper Home Edition automatically sets up Smart Scheduling for all your disk drives when it is installed. o Exclusion Lists- Diskeeper exclusion lists allow you to specify files and directories that will not be allowed to be processed by Diskeeper. o Event Logging- Diskeeper can record information about its activity in a log file. A wide variety of information can be saved for future reference. C. KNOWN RESTRICTIONS IN THIS RELEASE ====================================== 1. Diskeeper needs access to the root directory on a volume to display the volume in the GUI. Diskeeper runs under the SYSTEM logon, so if an NTFS volume is not appearing in the volume list, make sure that SYSTEM has FULL CONTROL on the root directory of the volume. 2. Diskeeper needs to be able to access a file to defragment it. a) If a file on an NTFS volume does not grant FULL CONTROL to the SYSTEM logon, Diskeeper will not be able to defragment it. b) If a file on an NTFS volume is open for update with an exclusive lock, Diskeeper will not be able to defragment it. You will need to shut down the application that has a file open in this mode in order to defragment it. 3. If User Profiles are enabled on Windows 95/98/Me systems, Diskeeper will only be available under the logon of the user who installed it. If you are using multiple user profiles, you can install Diskeeper from within each profile to make it available to that profile. 4. Although Diskeeper attempts to lock removable drives, some may not be lockable, or may eject anyway if the eject button is used. Data corruption may occur if you eject a removable disk while defragmentation is occurring on that disk. 5. If you are running Internet Explorer 4.0 and using Dial Up Networking (DUN) with a modem, starting Diskeeper can cause the DUN dialog box to be displayed. To work around this, disable connecting through a modem or install Internet Explorer 5.0. Internet Explorer 5.0 may show similar results if the "Always dial my default connection" option is set via the Tools | Internet options | Connection tab set. 6. If you install other software that also loads the MMC, be aware that the other product may install an older version of the MMC. If this occurs, Diskeeper may not operate correctly, and should be reinstalled. 7. FAT volumes larger than 2GB formatted on Windows NT cannot be defragmented under Windows 95/98/Me. This is due to a 2GB FAT volume limit on Windows 95/98/Me systems. 8. The free space figures displayed in the Diskeeper MMC snap-in may not match those shown in the Diskeeper report view if you are running Norton Protect. 9. When the post-defragmentation summary report is displayed, scheduled "Set It and Forget It" defragmentation jobs are prevented from starting. Close the summary report to allow the scheduled defragmentation to occur. 10. On Windows 95, if you do not have Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher installed, you will not be able to access the Diskeeper Help system interactively from Diskeeper. However, you can still run the Diskeeper Help by double-clicking the Diskeeper.chm file in the directory folder where Diskeeper was installed. 11. In rare cases, the Diskeeper installation will not be able to uninstall a previous version of the Diskeeper service. The error displayed is "Error stopping the Diskeeper Service." If you receive this error, use Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the previous version of Diskeeper. This will enable you to resume the installation. 12. On Windows 95/98/Me, pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL while the Diskeeper engine is running on the system drive, can cause a "system busy" blue screen. Pressing any key should return you to Windows. If CTRL+ALT+DEL is pressed twice, while any disk volume is being defragmented, this can prevent old file fragments that were moved from being freed up. To avoid this problem, press the space bar after the first CTRL+ALT+DEL to return to Windows, then stop any defragmentation before shutting down your computer. 13. The Status Bar at the bottom of the Diskeeper display does not appear on systems running versions of Internet Explorer lower than 5.0. Although this is due to limitations in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), we are investigating a solution. D. KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITIES =========================== 1. Diskeeper will not run on disk volumes that are locked by utilities such as Scandisk. 2. We have noted occasional problems in defragmenting volumes that have been configured or resized with Partition Magic. If you are having problems defragmenting a volume, and it has previously been configured or resized with Partition Magic, it may be necessary to backup, reformat, and restore the volume prior to running Diskeeper. 3. When using an IOMEGA JAZ drive with the IOMEGA Quick.exe application installed, you may receive the following blue screen error message when you log on to the computer using an administrative account: Stop 0x0000000A (parameter,parameter,parameter,parameter) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The IOMEGA Quick.exe application is installed in the Startup group to start automatically. It sends invalid system calls that are only allowed when logged on as an administrator. When the Diskeeper Boot-Time operation is run, the Quick.exe application is delayed in starting, thus causing the above problem. 4. Diskeeper is compatible with Roxio GoBack. Note, however, that you should add the "gobackio.bin" file to the Diskeeper exclusion list. After doing so, should be no problems running GoBack along with Diskeeper. E. INSTALLING DISKEEPER ======================== Note: On Windows XP, make sure you are logged onto an account that is a member of the Administrators group. Diskeeper is available either as a downloaded self-extracting compressed file, or on CD-ROM. The following instructions apply to both formats. Follow these steps to install Diskeeper: The Diskeeper installation is typically fast and simple. Here are the basic steps: 1. Insert the Diskeeper CD-ROM into the appropriate drive on your computer. (If you are installing from a downloaded file, double-click the file you downloaded.) 2. Follow the screens displayed, answering the questions asked as prompted. For more details about installing Diskeeper, see the "Diskeeper Installation" chapter in the Diskeeper User Manual. F. SETTING ACCESS CONTROL ON WINDOWS 95/98/Me SYSTEMS ====================================================== In some cases, the Diskeeper setup program will inform you that it is necessary for you to change the access control settings on Windows 95/98 systems. If such a message is displayed during the installation, follow these steps to set the access control: 1. From the Windows Control Panel, double-click "Network". 2. Click the Access Control tab. 3. Enable "User-level access control". 4. Specify the correct domain, if necessary. G. UNINSTALLING DISKEEPER ========================== To uninstall Diskeeper on Windows XP systems, you must be logged into an account that is a member of the Administrators group. Note that the controls may have slightly different names, depending on your version of Windows. Follow these steps to completely remove and uninstall Diskeeper from your computer: 1. From Control Panel, double click "Add/Remove Programs". (On Windows 95/98/Me systems, click the Install/Uninstall tab.) 2. Highlight the Diskeeper entry. 4. Click Remove or Add/Remove (Windows 95/98/Me). This removes the Diskeeper program files from your computer. In most cases, the Diskeeper installation directory will not be removed. 5. On Windows XP, systems, the Windows Disk Defragmenter is restored to the state it was in before Diskeeper was installed. 6. Manually delete the Diskeeper installation directory if it exists. Note: If the MMC and DCOM have been installed on your computer, they will not be removed when Diskeeper is uninstalled. H.
