Hello Dennis,
I had to respond quickly to this message of yours, because it scared
me. I have wiped out two hard drives using such a utility, no doubt
because it installed the wrong drivers for my drives, and so the data
was scrambled.
My advice: get to know your system hardware very well, and go to the
specific manufacturer's website for each device on your system, and do
any upgrades manually.
Also, and perhaps most important, I recommend the following rule of
thumb: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The main reason why I had wanted to update drivers back when I scrambled
my hard drives was that I wanted to update a sound card driver to work
with a piece of software, and windows update and my Sound Blaster
website (Creative Labs), had no updated drivers. And so, I made the
huge mistake of trying an online utility. I swore: never again!
hth,
Rod
