Whenever I run my Norton "speed-disk" on my 20Mb hard disk attached to my
Mac+, I get a system error (ID=28) when "optimizing directory".

If I then try running disk doctor, I get a range of problems, mainly along the
lines of the allocation bitmap needing attention, or problems with the
directory.  In both cases the disk doctor claims to mend them OK.  So I run
speed-disk, the same thing happens, and the same problem is back again . . .

Any ideas? The same speed-disk works fine on other machines.  My HD20 has
about 1 mbyte free, is 5% fragmented, and there are no funny INITs or special
configurations.

Thanks in advance,
