Check for disk fragmentation using your LaCie disk utility,and tell it
to defragment... well I have that one with my external HD.. My internal
Hard disk
started giving the same problems, and DiskFirst Aid told me that I had
Bad spots on the disk...so it's goin' bad and eventually will be all
useless...
To avoid using your hard disk so intensively:
Add a command to the user preferences which enables RAMcaching within
netscape...then turn off disk caching...It stopped banging so hard on my
disk drive when I did that...I have a cablemodem..Use BBEdit and (Any files)..
go.. System Folder->Preferences-->Netscape Users-->(user)-->Netscape Preferences
add the following ..
user_pref("browser.cache.memory_cache_size", 12288);
Be sure Netscape is not running, It rewrites this file when You exit.
I lost my password to my mail account when I did this, though; fortunatly
I had it written down!
