Lines: 14 PC Magazine reviewed the disk recovery utilities earlier this year and gave the "Editors Choice Award" to Mace Utilities Emergency Room. The basis of the award was success in cleaning up more intentionally trashed disks than PC Tools or Norton Utilities. They also liked Mace's ability to restore the disk to it's starting condition if something goes wrong. Norton has a new release version 5 out that seems to address the shortcomings reported in PC Magazine's review. If you use an older version of Mace Utilities 1990 with an Adaptec controller, make sure you get a free upgrade or you will trash your disk to an unrecoverable condition because of an interupt conflict.
