hey wily,

here's the way i heard the difference between normal test and thorough test described... in a norton piece.

a 'normal' surface test scans the disks selected for file allocation table errors, cross-linked files, and lost clusters. it does not run potentially time-consuming scans on the disk surface, the boot sector, or the partition table.

norton allows users to choose what to test also, either the entire disk area or just the area used by files.

:)
