I'm using Vista and have several NTFS drives.

Is there any way I can clear the journals and disable further journaling?

I take it you just got an SSD? – digitxp Jan 3 '11 at 4:15
I'm using a traditional HDD. – Russell Jan 3 '11 at 4:30

Open up and administrator prompt (search Command Prompt in Start menu, right click on option, Run as Administrator) then paste this block in:

fsutil usn deletejournal /d C:

(You'll have to paste using right click, by the way.) You can do this with every drive letter.

Thanks. Are there any precautions from doing this? – Russell Jan 3 '11 at 4:31
My general motto is to backup your data, or it will end up like the unicorns in Noah's ark. – digitxp Jan 3 '11 at 12:52
