Has anyone out there had any problems with the B.A.D. disk optimizer program? I have the latest version and used it to optimize my Amiga 3000 50 meg hard drive under the latest version of Operating System 2…….. ….The result was a terribly scrambled hard-drive which had to be reformatted in order to bring it into working order again. Fortunately, I had backed up the whole thing with Quarterback, a program that served me very well (thank goodness!). I realize that hard-drive scrambling is a real risk with a disk optimizer program, but I was terribly disappointed that my rather dull and standard Amiga system seemed to have completely stumped the B.A.D. program. During hard-drive processing, it seemed to work just fine. When it was finished, all seemed well…until I tried to actually use my hard-drive. Has anyone else noted similiar problems? In retrospect, I have my doubts that this is even a worthwhile program, even if it DOES work…. After all….it would seem that an alternative method of optimizing a hard drive would be to simply back up the drive, reformat it and then replace the files, using the back-up program. Calls to technical support have gone unanswered, though I am continuing to try. Any thoughts?
