Summary: complain to the vendor for not providing better/more utilities


vendors should supply decent software utilities with their hardware - or be
forced out of business (they also should use quality parts , provide support,
arrange for quick repairs, and know what they are doing, in general - but that
is another story) ....

no hard-disk owner should be without a disk-backup utility, a de-fragmenting
utility, an analyze-and-repair utility, ... and probably several others.
because when you need them - you need/want them NOW - and, in the case of
a broken disk and a repair program, buying it later forces you to learn the
use of the utility at the worst possible time !

such programs exist, are available to vendors at a reasonable license fee,
could be made available to the disk-purchasor adding relatively little to
the cost of the hard-disk ..... etc, etc !!!
