I know this is an old thread....but I thought I would let you know my
experience. My machine has not been running at top notch....nothing
serious, just slight stallings from time to time. I run Norton 6
from the CD...not installed. It told me I had no problems. I ran
disk doctor and it said my hard drive needed to be repaired. So I
would click to "repair" it and it would run through the cycle and
tell me that my hard drive had been repaired. And then I would turn
right around and run a verification immediately and it would tell me
that my hard drive needed to be repaired. Well, obviously it wasn't
doing the repair. So I drug out my old TechTool Pro 2.0 and ran it.
After it had told me I needed to make some repairs, it told me that
it had repaired several problems within the data structures on my
disk drive. Had the problems been left uncorrected, I could have
lost data or the use of the drive. Now I am not a "technical" person
and have no idea of what it means when they say problems within the
data structure on my disk drive......but when I ran Disk Doctor again
this time, it came up the very first time saying that my hard drive
appeared to be OK.....So TechTool Pro MUST have done the job when the
other two wouldn't or couldn't!! ;o)
Some one asked a while back if it was really all that important to
have these utilities programs.....and I guess from experience I would
have to say that I feel they are extremely important. I don't have
Disk Warrior yet, but that will probably be my next "utilities"
purchase ;o)
