I've also had difficulties with SpeeDisk.  Norton Cache was causing my
problem.  It seemed that everytime I would try to run a compression, I
would get some  time of error.   I received a  checksum error  several
times, problems with lost allocation clusters, and a crosslink.  I was
able to  fix  the problems with  NDD, but when I  would try to run the
compression again, I  would  receive some  new error.   Disabling  the
Norton Cache (which was also caching write-backs)  did  the trick.  It
balked at my using DOS 5.00, and apparently I  shouldn't have tried to
fool Peter Norton by using the SETVER command!
