Hi Nancy, I haven't got the ultra-new version of the said de-fragmentation software, but Pete (?) has and uploaded it today, so it should be around in a day or two. As far as I know it takes a little while between upload and being able to download it. Your pleas sound like your HD is in "the need" <g>. Charles * Thirsk – North Yorkshire – United Kingdom *

Oh, thank you. I'll d/l it as soon as I see it. I'm not 100 % sure my hard drive is "in need," but I suspect it is, as my access time just isn't what it should be. I have done a lot of adding and deleting lately, so it's logical to assume that things are getting pretty fragmented. Thanks again! …..Nancy From Edmonton, Ab, Canada

Sounds like it's "in need". It doesn't take all that long for a hard disk to get fragmented in a way that slows it down. Another way of de-fragmenting, but alot lot slower is to re-format, or restore a backup of it. Charles * Thirsk – North Yorkshire – United Kingdom *

Is Re-Org save enough to use without doing a full backup first? (She asks hopefully.) …..Nancy From Edmonton, AB, Canada

Ask a silly question………….. Yes Re-org IS safe enough, but NOTHING is ful-proof. My HD is split 2 ways 8Mb for the bootable HD, which I back-up and also a 71Mb for games, business data, which I have not backed-up (except the business data bits etc.) As yet I have never had Re-org fail on me and that's after maybe twenty goes. As long as the power doesn't fail etc everything should be OK. Just remember it always MIGHT happen to you!. 🙂 Charles * Thirsk – North Yorkshire – United Kingdom *
