Can you show the physical size of these drives ? and how much space is been use (Ctrl+A on the root of each drive, the right click & select properties) ? thanks. (note: Drive Properties, don't always show the real information, so you need to look at files properties) (you can compact-OS & compress the system drive, but not dedup it)
Now I can read my deduplicated drives which I couldn't after going to 14393. What isn't working is actually deduplicating new files.
Hi Done anniversary update. I can't run dism from the text file included in Dedup_10.0.14393.0 Are there any prerequisites before i can run the dism in ps as admin?
Copy that text and paste it on an admin command prompt (then enter). Or rename the txt as cmd and launch it as administrator.
Have to ask, why are average people messing with dedupe, and even hacking to enable it...if i need more storage space, i buy a new disk, cost per megabyte has never been lower, the drive can be used on every PC/MAC i can find, and its far safer than murdering your consumer level HDD with extra strain of deduping After 35+ years in IT, all my important files live on an external drive that is only connected when i need it, the very last thing id do would be leave any important files...media included on a drive thats spinning 24/7, and then add deduping to it...no thanks
