Yesterday I interrupted a program that, perhaps, I shouldn't have. As a result, I seemed to trash a significant portion of the system area of my hard disk. I could list directories, but many were screwed up. I could not boot from the disk. CHKDSK reported a probable non-DOS disk. I managed to back up the D: partition, but I could not do the C: partition. Hmmm, I thought. I was not too worried, having backed up the disk only a short while previously, but thought I would have to clear and reformat partition C:, then restore all files on C:, and maybe D:. Then I remembered PCTOOLS MIRROR, which makes a copy of the system area of my disk every time I reboot. I tried the command REBUILD C:. The disk immediately worked perfectly, and I have noticed no problems since then. This program actually works. Yet another reason to buy PCTOOLS (I have no connection with the company other than as a very satisfied customer). Richard Stanton pstanton@gsb-what.stanford.edu
