Although I don’t have CD drive anymore, I like the feature of simple system backups and restoration. Sometimes I used defragmentation when something is wrong with my computer. I hope they will have something similar like this one in the future.

This is my comment on the software: DON’T USE IT!!!!

I installed this software and thought I’d use it to remove a tiny (~8MB) unused bit of hard drive space from my WD 80-GB IDE (C:) drive. I had an identical, cloned drive as drive D: on my system as backup, so I figured I was safe if anything went wrong.

WRONG!

I let it work overnight and when I came back in the AM the message on the screen was “There was an internal error.” My hard drive (C:) was TOTAL GARBAGE!!! I figured, not a big problem, I’ll just switch over to drive D: and make it C:.

WRONG!

The D: drive, now the master, would not boot, with a STOP message. The Recovery utility would not work! From King of the Road I was reduced to drooling wreck. I did nothing other than use this program right out of the box to do something it was obviously designed to do, and it shot me down. I’m now in the process of formatting the original C: drive and reinstalling Windows XP Pro, and copying over the data and files from the original D: drive.

Don’t do what I did. Before using this software, do a complete backup or image, and *remove the backup or image drive from your computer* before proceeding. This has been a tough lesson for me!

I posted #117. This worked: I found the Paragon.MSI file in ‘My Computer’ C drive and ran it. When it asked for the prod key and serial number I used the one they had previously provided. Program installed quickly.

It is is running now and looks very comprehensive.

good luck

Well the 115MB download was a bit awesome, but in the end I rekon it’s not that bad. Bits of it, like a lot of these types of software, can be VERY DANGEROUS in the hands of a novice.

It has defrager, backups and many other useful options/tools, and the only real con I have is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to schedule or automate the backups. Once or twice a week would do me fine. Maybe I need to set it up in Windows.

In the help I found “timetable” mentioned, but no further comments existed. Now to decide which program does what, so I can try and schedule them in control panel. I’ll have to turn off the “last chance” apply option. eeek!

LOL

Another handy option in the ever increasing volumes of useful stuff I have. Interesting that the installer, when extracted, doesn’t “call home” again.

You can do this if you have some free space on D drive. If you do, you should make D partition smaller then you get unallocated space that you can add to C drive.

I went to paragons website and they sent me the serial but I guess it’s too late now, it won’t let me install.

To the people who tried to install this and had problems, it’s probably not too late. You should have paid attention and told the ultra-suckware WinRAR self-extractor where to put the files. If you didn’t, Run regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR SFX and it will list the places where it has put stuff recently. Numerous people have posted how to register directly on Paragon’s website. As for the dial-up issue, it turns out most of the US (by area) doesn’t have broadband available, but files of this size should easily download within the giveaway time (if you’re on dial-up, use a download manager, and consider a second phone line for computer use).

#123, not-so-Über Tech, um, no, Vista and probably XP can do that. Shrinking generally requires that you run a disk defragmenter which consolidates free space at the end of the volume, first.

in the archive with all the installation files you should find the .msi file, and install PM9.5 using that .msi file

its name should be like this:
Paragon-PM95-PRE_WinInstallSNx32_9.0.99.10022_001.msi
