- Here is some important information about the
- disk optimizer "ReOrg V2.31":
-
- - DO READ the documentation "ReOrg.doc" ! Although most
- functions of "ReOrg" are quite "intuitive" and although
- ReOrg has an online help facility, there are several
- important hints in the documentation !
-
- - BEFORE STARTING ReOrg BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF
- YOUR HARDDISK !
- I really mean it ! There have been some problems with
- ReOrg V2.1 and some (a few) harddisk controllers. Although
- all bugs and problems I know have been solved in ReOrg V2.3,
- there is still a (slight) chance that ReOrg destroys
- the data on your harddisk. If you do not have a backup
- available in that case, THAT IS YOUR OWN FAULT --- especially
- if you used ReOrg on your harddisk for the first time !
-
- - For those of you who have already been using ReOrg V2.1:
- - Please delete all old settings files (ReOrg.prefs) !
- Altough ReOrg V2.31 can still read all old settings files,
- I recommend you use the new built-in settings first,
- because some default options have changed from V2.1 to
- V2.3 !
- - There is one important change for the option
- "Read drive geometry":
- - THE OPTION "Read drive geometry" SHOULD ALWAYS BE
- SWITCHED OFF, EVEN IF YOU ARE USING HD-DISKS IN
- COMMODORE HD DISK DRIVES. This option is now only
- needed for "special" disk drives with variable
- formats, e.g. on the SCSI bus (at this time, I do not
- think that such drives already exist). ReOrg
- automatically adjusts itself to HD-disks inserted
- in Commodore HD disk drives even if the option
- "Read disk geometry" is switched off.
-
-
- - IMPORTANT ! Recommended option settings:
-
- - Write verify:
- - for floppy disks: >On< or >Off< (choose by yourself)
- - for harddisks: >Off< !!! (Verify does not make much
- sense for harddisks)
-
- - Format:
- - floppy disks in 2-disk-mode: >All tracks< for a new disk
- >On< for a pre-formatted disk
- - floppy disks in 1-disk-mode: >On< (is faster than >Off<)
- - harddisks (1-disk-mode): >Off< !!! (Otherwise you might
- get I/O errors)
-
- - Read drive geometry: >Off< !!! (or your machine might crash)
-
- - Update disk date: >On< !!! (or your machine might crash)
-
-
- Bug reports, comments and shareware donations are welcome
- at any time. The documentation "ReOrg.doc" contains details.
