[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Norton's Calibrate & IDE drives

millernw@clutx.clarkson.edu (Neal Miller) (06/21/91)

	I'm in the process of hunting for a decent 386-33.  The one I have
in mind come with a 120Mb IDE hard drive.  I remember hearing that the Norton 
Utilities "CALIBRATE" program is dangerous to one particular type of drive.
I can't remember for the life of me if it was the SCSI, IDE or what, but if
anyone could help out, I'd appreciate it.  Oh, while I'm posting, I ask
if anyone could tell me anything about the reputation of the company.  Un-
fortunately, I can't remember the name, but if anyone has the June '91
issue of Computer Shopper about, the ad is on page 65, give or take three
pages, and has the word "Professional" in the company name.


						Much Thanks,
