I have heard from at least two friends that had problems w/ NDD (norton
disk doctor) with NON-DOS partitions. This includes using ONTRACK disk
manager to create dos compatable extended partitions. Another real no-no
is to run NDD with a cache of any kind installed. It will claim that
your two fat-tables are different, and if you let it fix it, you will
trash your hard disk...
