That's 12 years (since you want to pull up histories) and I beg to differ. Especially with version 3-5. Remember when Symantec had to pull it off the shelves for a couple of months because it was killing drives back in 1996-7? >Some drives are so bad off it may be Norton that "seems" to kill them, but it usually simply a coincidence. I don't want to argue *symantecs* with you here. ;-) My point is that even if a drive is not functioning properly a piece of util software shouldn't send it over the edge. Diskwarrior never does that. >I think it should be a part of your software troubleshooting toolkit. As I stated earlier...it is. I only use it as a last resort, and it almost never does anything good. >Disk Warrior is by far the best piece of troubleshooting software made for Mac. Agreed. Everyone should own it. -- Kyle H.
