This message is for anyone who patches HD Setup or who otherwise uses a driver
that was not designed for their drive.

When backing up files using Diskfit, turn off the "verify writes" option
else your backup will probably fail. The verify writes option reads the
data after it has written it and makes sure that the data was recorded
properly. When a mismatch is found the backup is aborted. If you want the
backup to finish - I mean "finish" - then turn off the verify option.

Cheers,
Tony
