- Hmm, where do all these negative experiences come from? I'm also very
- cautious when I use it and until now, it did only good to me. To explain
- my way of being "cautious": I know a little how to use a disk monitor,
- so I do the life-important fixes by hand with this monitor. But when it
- comes down to adapting checksums for a load of blocks, updating the
- bitmap blocks etc., I use the OS. E.g. after my last repair, I saw that
- there were obviously some blocks still marked as occupied that were
- actually free. DiskDoctor did it for me. Yes, in this special case, I
- also could have used a forced validation, but you get the pictiure:
- Doing the hard stuff by hand, and let DD do the dull work :-).
