QB Tools (newest should be v1.3e I think) has worked fine until the other day
when it trashed my HD. One of the sectors was so bad not even SupraFormat could
deal with it (Drive just locked up). So I don't know if QBTools was the culprit
or not. Otherwise it and BAD seem to work OK, except BAD v3.15 which didn't
recognise my HD as being valid (if that isn't a bug, then neither is a
cockroach). By the way, I did have a full backup of the HD, and I suggest you
do to before using ANY optimizer.
