Hey guy's. Using "Shadow mode" reports that 28gb is being used by SD, I have performed nothing, No file moves, nothing.. Prior to installing SD I defragged both my hd's(500gb and 80gb) with jkdefrag(I haven't gotten around to getting the newest version that has been renamed)

I started SD, Then SD reported 28gb of HD being used by SD.. :o
Just to be sure, I revo uninstalled SD and performed another defrag by auslogics, Installed SD.. etc. SD reported roughly the same amount.

I would ignore what it's reporting. Look in c:\ with all hidden files shown, and I think you will see diskopt.sys Thats the actual file.
