I sure hope the current one is better than the one that shipped System
Works 2000, which corrupted the filesystems on 2 PCs I had. I will
NEVER EVER use Norton again for defrag. Booting into Safe Mode and
running the regular Windows defrag, I can defrag in about the same
time as Speed Disk (when it worked) and I've NEVER wound up with a
corrupted fs.

Use Speed Disk at YOUR OWN RISK.
