Many third-party hard disks come with partioning software -- Jasmines, Dataframes, and, I believe, Everexes. I like the stuff; it's simple, works on boot-time, and password-protected partitions seem relatively secure. (Are they?) Well, our university radio station is sort of stuck with buying an SE/30 and an Apple/Quantum HD80, without partitioning software. I'd like to buy the stuff separately. Does anyone have any recommendations? Is any of this stuff freeware or shareware? Thanks for any pointers, Dan -- # Daniel M.

Daniel, "...password-protected partitions seem relatively secure. (Are they?)..." I cannot speak for Jasmine, but our password protected and DES encrypted partitions are secure...there is no "backdoor". Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian

Steve Costa, BMUG Hard Disk recovery guru, warns thacrashed hard disk in a partition can rarely be recovered! So if you do partition the disk, backup *very* often... -- Help me justify my online bills: ask me EndNote questions, please! -- Avi Rappoport nilesinc@well.UUCP, Niles.Assoc on AppleLink 415-655-6666 2000 Hearst, Berkeley, CA 94709
