- Chris,
- I would recommend a program called ReOrg, available on Aminet in the
- disk/optim directory. Filenames are: "ReOrg3_1.lha" = main program
- "ReOrg3_11pch.lha" = patch to v3.11
-
- It is very reliable and has never cause any problems on my machine. One thing
- I will say about it is it is a *very big* memory hog. Takes a lotta memory to
- optimize big disk partions. Takes almost 5 meg RAM to optimize my 400 MB hard
- drive partitions, leaving a little over 1 Meg RAM for ReOrg's caching.
- So, you better have a lotta memory in your machine if you only have one partiton
- on your 600 MB HD.
