Matt: Why not back up your entire drive, reformat and then do a restore. If your drive has been in use for some time, the data has probably become very fragmented, and that not only decreases access times, but makes the drive WORK much harder to find data. By defragmenting the drive, it won't have to work as hard. If you do this, after you've made your backup, be sure to check for bad blocks before you do your normal AmiagDos format.
