Hmmm, I'm not sure what the appropriate news group for this query would be...

I see that the version of Norton Utilities that contains SD (speed disk) - a
defragger -
costs about $119.   Could I save some money by using FASTBACK to save my entire
disk,
delete everything and then restore from my backup on floppies?  I little
tedious, but I was
pleased to discover that I could restore 40mb in about 20 minutes with a single
1.2mb floppy
drive.

I suppose I should aquire Norton Utilities eventually, but I strapped for cash
currently.
