mr mark, I am wrong. Thanks for correcting me. > i regularly run Norton Utilities Speed Disk (the disk defragmentation tool) on winxp< You mentioned System Restore may be the new MS recovery tool for Win XP. But can it be run when Win XP does not boot? I think not. All I found on Win XP is ability to make a MS-DOS boot disk. I tried it and it boots to the A: drive. No utilities. Gottfried - off to walk the dog :) while Norton defrags

Don't know if anyone has tried Diskeeper Professional edition ( consumer.execsoft.com ). They just came out with Version 8. If you are using WIN 2000 or XP with NTFS file formatting, it does a defragmenting of the paging file and master file table on bootup. It can also run in the background constantly defragging your hard drives, but I don't know how excited I am about having so many memory resident programs running even with a gig of ram. Just thinking about conflicts. Anyone with any experience with Diskeeper Pro version? I like NAV, but Norton Speed Disk doesn't defrag the paging files or master file table in NTFS. Thanks, Marty
