Hello, I own Stacker 2.0 but I've never permanently installed it
on my hard disk because of reliablity problems. I also find it VERY
awkward to have an extra compressed drive created for each uncompressed
logical drive that exists. I have C: D: E: and F: partitions on two
drives - Stacker then creates G: H: I: and J: !

Lately, I've heard some sketchy information on IIT's XtraDrive, but
it looks promising. For those who have it, could you comment on it's
compatibility with Window's swapfile, and whether I can use PC Tools'
Compress or Norton's defragger on an XtraDrive compressed disk? For
those who say that it is slow, _how_ slow? And if I understand correctly,
XtraDrive does not require you to have an uncompressed partition?

Thanks in advance...
                -Kijin
