Hi,
In the beginning...
I had my rig set up as to use a 40g Intel SSD set up as Raid 0 with Intel Smart Response Technology via my Gigabyte Z68 board.
Long story short, I screwed it up months ago by loading optimized defaults in bios (for another issue) then reinstalling win7 without 1st setting it up for raid.
So, I started using the ssd for a pagefile as suggested by the gurus here. Worked great! Then I had heat issues.
Liquid cooler died. Sent it back to cyberpower for warranty repair. Got it back and now I have a 40g ssd, with 12.7g on it that I can't see and I do Not believe it's being used for my pagefiles. Could be old pagefiles? I can't tell...
How can I check the ssd to see what's there before I try to either wipe it or make it a pagefile again? Tried dos, and I see a $RECYCLE BIN and 2 other folders with random numbers as names but i can't see dates. But 12.7g on a 40g is a lot of stuff!
Thanks in advance! You guys are always helpful!
