When it comes to the crunch, HD Utils don't cut it

Over the years I've seen a lot of whacky hard disk
problems and in my experience, if they're nasty the
usual symptom is "the hard disk isn't there". By and
large, all the hard disk gizmos around basically do
the same thing... check the SCSI chain using the
same commands and then try to mount anything they
see. Since a bad problem generally means they don't
see anything, they don't do you any good.

I have access to practically every utility program
for Macs ever seen (borrowing from friends and
contacts in a crisis) and it's pretty well always the
same story.

They'll recover an occasional lost file or fix errors
that you've never noticed, but when something serious
happens, you might as well use SCSI probe as Norton's.

Any comments?

Tonio
