Be Warned!! I have just received NUM, and tried the Speed Disk option. It 
worked OK on one disk (a 140mb Rodime), but trashed another (a 210Mb Cobra)
saying an unknown error had occurred. The Norton Emergency Disk was brought
into play, and it found lots of errors - and most annoyingly, was unable
to fix them all. So, its back to my backup.
So, DO NOT BELEIVE THE NORTON ADVERTISING HYPE where they say that competitors
(SUM) are wimps when advising you to backup before doing anything risky.
Symantec may be wimps, but they may not be stupidly arrogant!
