I got mine from the place where I ordered my computer. Versions of the program are often tweaked for the drives of a company so that people can use the program to automatically format their drives. That's what they tried on mine, and I didn't like it! The manual mode works great too, except you need to know most of the stats on your drive. Later, | James M.

I'm not sure if the commercially-sold version can handle every type of drive or what, but nothing really justifies its (high?) expense when you might be able to call up the place you ordered your drive from and nag them about getting a copy. -- Kevin Martin sigma@ipl.rpi.edu
