Don't use DISKEEPER 7!!!
This is NOT A FINAL PRODUCT! The one I got was a beta and wasn't labeled as such, I ended up corrupting my RAID array and had to reformat. I didn't know the problem was Diskeeper 7 at the time and proceeded to reinstall it only to have my system corrupted again.

I have traced the problem to the boot time defrag feature. I suspected my RAID controller was the culprit and that maybe Diskeeper 7 wasn't compatible with it, so I eliminated my RAID array and used a single hard drive on the motherboard's IDE controller.
Reinstalled Diskeeper 7, and bam, registry hive corruptions UP THE WAZOO.
DO
NOT
USE
THIS
PRODUCT
Stick to PerfectDisk, Speed Disk 2002, Diskeeper 6 and other programs. All have been proven to work great in XP.
I can only hope that none of you suffered what I did, it's devestating losing 50 gigs of data after my RAID-0 stripe broke the first time around. I had SO MUCH STUFF!!11 :::criez:::

That's why I went SCSI. Back up all 17gigs of my data on 1 17gig drive (in fact I have no free space left getting 36g soon).
2 17g SCSI
1 for NT5/NT51 OS/APPS (ALL NTFS)
1 for backups (currently full ) (ALL NTFS)
2 60g DMA/100 IBM (previously RAID)
1 Linux
1 Games (2 partitions FAT32 'cause of Linux not supporting NTFS )
As for Diskeeper 7 as far as I know it's Final. Are you overclocking? Using a HPT370 controller?

Man it's your hpt controller. i had nothing but problems with that piece of crap. I bought myself a cheap promise ATA100 pci card and zero probs since then. I've been using diskkeeper 7 for 1 month now and no problems with it either.
[Edit] Ohw sorry, i read to fast, i didn't see you disabled it. Nvm my stupid post
