nobody reely ansered the ? a was asking : what causes windows to corrupt itself and slow down, EVEN when the drive is 75% free AND is defragmented reularley AND when the system is suposedley virus and spyware free???? PS i allsow tride using REGISTRY REPAIR and that didet do anything for my speed.


ok ? # 2 : my music and stuff is on a compleatley seperate HDD from the one windows lives on. i know there safe from windows system failures there , but are they safe from this "bit rot" (by bit rot i dont meen phisical problems with the drive like head crashes and letting a magnet/transformer etc get too close) i meen can the files simpley corrupt themselfs just from being read and from sitting there on the drive for 10-20 years?

can simpley moving the files from folder to folder on the same drive corrupt them??

and can a HDD degrade the same way older style magnetic tape can???
