I did not even expect HD-TuneUp to be able to defragment my System
file on the hard disk if I was running from the hard disk.
For such work, I boot from a "CLEAN" floppy, create a RAMdisk and
move the System Folder there and run the utilities from there.
no reason to take chances mucking around with my "essentials"
with all those weird INITs and other stuff which makes my HD-System
Folder an accident waiting to happen ... I just know that someone
will now ask me which RAMdisk I have all this confidence in ....(-:
