- No, it's not. In fact, screate has a copy of SPPED DISK built into it.
- Notice that when you ran Stacker's install, it flashes: "Running Norton Speed Disk
- to defragment drive..." and stupidly looks for screate in the floppy drive even when
- it already has a copy of it in the hard drive. Norton's normal SPEED DISK
- should work, though. (If it doesn't, somebody tell me.) In fact, maybe you just need
- screate. First, disable the stacker device drivers, and try:
-
- screate c:\stacvol.dsk
-
- or (just guessing):
-
-
- screate c:\stacvol.dsk /o
-
-
- I'll try these out later. Tell me what happened at your end.
