- Can someone tell me if IDE drives need anything special in the way of
- disk diagnostic software? I have an old version of the Norton Utilities
- DT program which dates from the days before IDE drives were popular. Will
- it work with my Maxtor 7213A IDE drive? Can I get into trouble by using it
- to mark any bad clusters which it finds? If I need software which is
- specific to IDE drives, can you suggest some shareware or PD programs?
-
- Thanks for any help,
