Dominick, As you surmised, the most likely reason for the longer scanning time in Quarterback Tools is because it does more checks than AB-Tools does. There are some options in Quarterback Tools that you can use to speed things up a bit (for example, turning off the option to check data blocks on FFS volumes helps, and turning off the bad block scan helps a lot), but we leave it set for the maximum number of checks as the default. Our feeling is that it is better to take a little longer and do a more thorough check than try to cut corners. James Bayless Central Coast Software A division of New Horizons Software, Inc.
