I have a GCC Hyperdrive on which I tried doing a disk optimization using the
GCC software which came with the drive... it bombed saying that a
DiskExpress file was locked and that the optimization could not be done.
I had DiskExpress II on the disk for a few days several months ago but
deleted it after deciding it was not of use to me. I have scanned every
folder on the disk and can find nothing having to do with DE II at the
present time.
So... did DE II leave something nasty on my hard drive??? If
so, how can I find it??? How can I get rid of it???
Any help will be most appreciated.

Not nasty, just an invisible locked file. DiskExpress II puts a file called [DiskExpress Activity Log] (yes, the name includes the []'s) on each volume it monitors (or optimizes?). As I said, the file is locked and invisible. You should be able to remove it using any program or DA that allows you to lock and unlock invisible files (or you could make it visible and then remove it from the Finder). DiskTop and ResEdit I know will do it (I just tried), but I'm sure there are lots of others. -- Brian L. Matthews blm@6sceng.UUCP
