Any comments on >>the quality of optimization achieved are welcome. I have an EMAC Metro20 hard-drive, and the accompanying EMAC disk utitilities. I've had some problems with Speed Disk refusing to optimize the disk after finding bad sectors. Problem is that the EMAC utility doesn't concur with Speed Disk as to when a sector had gone bad. The same sectors found their way through reformatting. At least once, Speed Disk wouldn't optimize because it claimed to have found 'weak' sectors!! Hardly a bug, but it's an incompatibility which renders Speed Disk useless to me. -- Chris | 2617 East 4th,| The only space left in the Western rolfe@sfu.ca | Van., B.C. | World that doesn't say 'McPizza'.
