If you have on your PC multi-partitioned hard disk and use Ontrack System's
device driver, and are about to install MicroSoft WINDOW 3.0,  STOP!!!
It will *wipe* out your partition.

It happened to me, and I though I contracted virus.  I lost most of my
development work, and FAT was all messed up. Even Norton DiskDoctor could not
handle it.

Information Week Magazine (June 11, 1990. Page15) reports on this problem.

I believe there are many users of Ontrack system software because it is shipped
with the hard disk. I just hope that the word will spread fast.
