- I have used ReOrg on my nice 52MB HD, and had no problems. It has a
- NOWRITE option (type Reorg -NOWRITE DH0:), which allows you to go through the
- scanning and re-ordering without actually writing anything back to the disk.
- This is the option to use to see if it causes any errors.
-
- It should be safe to use, as long as you don't get a power cut, or
- interrupt it half-way through....
-
- As far as the Backup is concerned, what's wrong with AmigaDOS copy and
- a good file archiver????
