RE: [MiKTeX] running defrag on Win 98

[John M. <jom...@nm...>]

Hi Christoph,

The only problem I've ever had with defrag is the one time my laptop
went into sleep mode while it was running.

:-/

I would just make sure power management is disabled.  If you have any
critical files, it would be good to back them up.  I find my CD burner
works great for this.  

There are many ways in which a hard drive can be messed up.  While there
is a chance defrag could do this, a random power glitch is a more likely
cause.  Backing up is generally a good idea.

Subject: [MiKTeX] running defrag on Win 98


Dear MikTeX users,

this is a very general question:

I need to run defrag on my computer to arrange things...

Since I know from the past that there may be some problems after running
this tool, I wonder if somebody here has any (bad) experience when
running defrag on a system having MikTeX (LaTeX) installed. Is there any
risk for a stable MikTeX installation?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,
Christoph
