Norton Utils: Strong medicine for bad disks

Norton Utilites

Peter Norton Computing Inc.

List price: $129

+Intuitive interface; powerful file-recovery tools; Fast Find locates file very quickly; on-line help is excellent.

-Doesn't work with all kinds of disk damage; UnErase does not tell how much room is available on the volume to which you are saving data; Speed Disk will not defragment the start-up disk.
