This evening I was trying to speed up my hard drive by unfragmenting it.
I used Simon Poole's REGORG (v. .04)  First I did partition C.  No Problem
(I had FOLDER999.PRG in case of 40 folder problems)  I then rebooted.
Did partition D.  After 10 mins. or so, strange things started to happen.
The amount done indicator reached the end of the space for it and kept
going.  Went past the end of the dialog box.  Kept going.  To the edge of
the screen.  CRASSSSSSSSSSSSH!!!!!!!!! BOMBSSSSSSSSS!!!

Rebooted!  Partition D was fried!!!  Luckily I had backed up with Turtle
the night before (great program George!)  I used the BMS utility to 
zero out the partition and proceeded to restore partition D (how are you
supposed to restore from Turtle backed up disks?  I had to use some program
run from Gulam that someone posted a while back called RESTORE.)

I don't know where I screwed up, but I ended up with an directory with a 
blank name that when entered showed everything in the root. (and the same if
I entered the blank one in that directory)  Seemed like a circular pointer
problem.  I used a disk editor and some docs someone posted on the floppy
FATS a long time ago and wiped out that entry.  It seems to work.  Is that
the proper way to go? (I couldn't get any programs to fix it, DLII or Disk
Doctor.) 
 
Is there a new (safe) version of REORG?

Thanks,
