With regard to my posting about defragging, here's a caution! IF you are
defragging the boot partition, BE SURE to re-write the boot sector of that
partition after defragging the partition. (With ICD host adaptors, use the
BOOT & CONFIGURE options of HDUTILS.PRG). The process I outlined zeroes
the boot sector, so you'll lose your autoboot from hard drive. (Fortunately,
recovery is easy, just boot from floppy as you would after formatting the
hard drive, and then reconfigure the hard drive for autoboot).
