I will defragment it at some point, but it will take a lot of time, and I am not sure if that is the problem. Anyway, a standard defragmentation by the windows defrager only defragments files, it doesn't place the files in the same dir close together, as far as I know. And that is also important here. When I can afford to buy a new desktop machine (this portable is not mine, I'm just borrowing it), I will of course take better care to place the EGTB's in an unfragmented disk, maybe in it's own partition. Still, I haven't heard how long it takes for others. Maybe 25 seconds is normal. /David
