Hmmmm, normally no one of the progs of NU2000 is designed to work under Win2k, they're ment for Win9x

 

But under ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/americas/sabu/sdnt/sdnt215.zip you can get the beta of Norton SpeedDisk for Win2k - they give the beta away for free to test it!

Here is a great page about what they plan on doing, http://www.symantec.com/windows2000/grid.html

Get Ontrack's Fix It Utilites 2000 - it is 100% compatible with Win2k, does pretty much everything that NU2000 does, and a little Birdy named Fosi is giving it away (but you didn't hear it from me) <g>.

Hey man, this program totally ****ed up my comp.

 

i installed it, (symantec speed disk of the ftp) and after installation i ran it, and i left it running.

 

i came back to see whats happening and it was a black screen. i tried all possible controls, and all, but nothing. so i rebooted, and i got a blue screen. i rebooted, and same thing.

 

i reinstalled win 2000 2 times, same thing

 

now im in the process of checking for bad sectors

 

 

i dunno... please help if you know whats up

MY vote is for Fix It Utilites 2000. I have never had any trouble with it and it does a real good job.

Fix IT Utilites is NOT a norton thing. It is made by Ontrack (you know the people who make PowerDesk)and used Trend virus software. It is very good and does not @#%$ up you system.
