I believe the idea is, within the Windows multitasking interface, you
can safely check disks for errors, but not cure them or do the surface
test. This is why you have Norton Disk Doctor for DOS, and Norton
Disk Diagnostitian for Windows.

However, I could have sworn than I've done just that. (Run NDD from windows
and repaired / labelled bad sectors with it). Maybe you can, but it's
just not safe.

Norton have included NDD on the NDW Fix-It disks, though - so you don't
lose out on functionality when you get NDW.

Hmmm ?
