Are you aware that the start of your disk is significantly faster than the end of your disk? For example, here is my laptop: ST9320421AS (Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM, 320 GB) .... /dev/sda4 * 35890 38913 24290280 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda5 1 1959 15735604+ 83 Linux .... (Yes, I know my partitions are "out of order", and I don't care.) hdparm -T /dev/sda4 Timing buffered disk reads: 148 MB in 3.01 seconds = 49.22 MB/sec hdparm -T /dev/sda4 Timing buffered disk reads: 148 MB in 3.01 seconds = 49.21 MB/sec hdparm -T /dev/sda5 Timing buffered disk reads: 250 MB in 3.02 seconds = 82.82 MB/sec hdparm -T /dev/sda5 Timing buffered disk reads: 254 MB in 3.00 seconds = 84.65 MB/sec So the first partition on my disk is about 1.7 times faster than the last one. (Yes, the results of hdparm don't tell the whole story, but...) Of course, YMMV, but the next time you partition a disk, you may want to put the virusware partition at the end of your disk, to speed up your day-to-day activities. Cheers. Jim

After all, why reserve the best location for you-know-who? Even if the difference is small, given the relative partition sizes. Martin |
