When I try to Optimize my Hard Disk with SUMII's Tune Up Program, it get's half way thru the process and then gives an "Unexpected Error, cancelled. D 1" message. Anyone had the same problem or know why?

I think I lost half the message (ironic?) But it sounds like the problem recently discussed about the D1 error that Disk First Aid can fix-- then try again. If not, SUM people have been know to be helpful in diagnosing--just know the error that the optimize reports. dvb@inmet.com

I had the same problem a while back- 'fraid i don't know why exactly that happens, but there were some postings a little while back suggesting running Apple's Disk First Aid if you run into problems. I just did the old backup/reformat thing- I had to clean off a lot of junk anyways.

Tune Up D1 error during optimization.
Yes, all of the methods you mentioned will work. However, SUM Tools is
not for the weak of heart and not everyone has Disk Express.
Luckily, this problem is something which Disk First Aid, on the Apple
Utilities disks which come with the Mac, can fix.
All you have to do is launch Disk First Aid and press the "repair" button
or some such. The problem will go away.

Its actually 'trying' to tell you that it has found a block that is allocated but not to any file, ie the block says it belongs but it belongs to no-one. If you look up the error in the manual it simply says call us and let us know, thanks a lot guys [gals]. What you need to do is either of two things. Launch SUM Tools, select Edit Volume under Volume, select the volume in question, choose the "Vol Map" option under the pop-up on the top right of the window and look at the the very next allocated block, ie the first black block after the first white block. Point the cross of the magnifying glass on the first black block and hold the mouse button down... a window will appear saying the file that the block is associated with, whether it be a Data fork block or Resource fork block, the disk sector number, and the allocation block number. With the mouse still down, you will notice a pop-up menu just to the bottom right of your mouse, saying either "allocate block/read disk block" if the block is un-allocated, ie white; or "de-allocate block/read disk block" if the block is allocated. What you will find is that the block you are pointing to is allocated, but not to a file. You will need to de-allocate the disk block. My experience with this sort of problem is that there are usually more than one allocated block, and SUM gets you to confirm [twice] that you wish to de-allocate the block. Your second choice is launch Disk Express. It will analyze the volume and give you information regarding how many blocks are allocated to no files. If the number of these blocks is huge, ie >50, then let Disk Express unfragment the volume. Even a quick unfragment should do it [Disk Express 1.5]. If the number of these blocks is small, say 10, it might be worth doing it with SUM Tools. I neither work for, or own either of the two companies that produce the above mentioned software, I am just a happy customer. My owners are mentioned below.
