    I'm currently running Norton Utilities 4.0 on my Power Mac
    7200/120s, and on one of them I'm getting frequent bad block
    messages from Norton Filesaver. I have no idea where the bad
    blocks are coming from -- but I do trust it's not crying about the
    same bad blocks over and over again.

    Anyway, I would like to believe that in addition to fixing files that
    are sitting on bad blocks, NDD also makes sure the system
    doesn't try to write to those blocks again. But I don't see anything
    to that effect in the preferences or the NU CD booklet.

    Do any of you know if this version (or the latest version) of NU for
    Mac ensures that bad blocks aren't written to? If it doesn't, what
    program will? DiskWarrior?

    Thanks in advance,
    Bob
