rrufff, I haven't timed it but prefer the feel of Speed Disk. Since I run it while walking the dog, time doesn't matter much. Disk Doctor does a scan for errors but only if you uncheck the box 'fix errors'. If it's checked, then it schedules a scan next time the pc boots, and that turns out to be the MS-DOS chkdsk. Win Doctor... Norton WinDoctor is the safe and easy way to diagnose and repair the most common types of Windows problems. It checks all the information necessary for Windows to run properly. Plus it checks for components needed by programs that run under Windows. Norton WinDoctor starts with a Wizard interface to let you choose the kinds of diagnostic tests you want to perform. After running the tests, Norton WinDoctor displays an easy-to-read report of the problems it has found. Problems are listed by problem type in the order of severity. You can choose to display the list sorted by name or status (whether they are fixed). Norton WinDoctor lets you tailor the repair process to your own needs. You can specify which problems to fix and how to fix them. Or, you can let Norton WinDoctor fix all found problems automatically. If you decide you don’t like a repair WinDoctor has made, you can undo it. To undo repairs you made in previous sessions, use Norton WinDoctor’s Repair History feature. © 1994-2002 Symantec Corporation. All rights reserved.
