Drive setup (especially if you hack it and remove vendor interrogations from the code)
is a very useful tool, but it lacks in many ways. If you partition a drive using drive
setup you will lose a larger portion (over 5%) of the space to directory and sub space.
If you use Intech Hard Disk Speed tools, you get a faster disk driver and it leaves
your
disk with more space. I recently formatted a 60gb Hard Disk with Drive Setup and the
Reformatted it with Hard Disk Speed Tools. The Drive setup made a 57gb volume out of
60. Intech was over 59gb. That's 2gb storage difference!!!!
Silverlining just plain sucks on so many levels, that I can't even explain it. APS
Powertools used to be THE tool of choice for techs. FWB was for consumers and
end-users.

surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply
and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is
to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the
same pattern...do you know what it is? A virus. --Agent Smith, from the Matrix.
