Hi!

First of all, stop using SmartDrv. Try to use Norton Caches - NCache,
NCache2, SpeeDrv (actually manufactured by Future Computing Systems).

They are quite stable, well-compatible and most efficient disk caches
I ever seen.

You can obtain a copy of NCache2 from Norton Utilities 8.

Luck. SJP.
