This is something I discovered while working with the Mac of a friend.

My friend had just optimised his harddisk with speeddisk from Norton
utiltities. As an experiment, we tried to run Diskexpress 1.06, to
see if according to diskexpress, the disk was also completely
uptimised. But diskexpress gave the following error message:

'The directory of this volume appears to be damaged. More than one file
 owns the same block'

Norton SpeedDisk seemed to have ruined the harddisk. We ran HFS recover,
which also claimed that there were problems with the disk.

The Norton diskcheck program insisted that there was nothing wrong with
the disk.

We tried the same with my Mac, but on a soft partition. Same results



Can anybody else duplicate this Error ?
