Norton Utlities and System 8.x

[Eric Verbist]

I noticed that Norton Disk Editor 4.0 can't handle HFS+ volumes and the
updates that I've used so far (up to 4.0.4) don't update the Disk Editor.
Is there a more recent version of this program that can handle HFS+ volumes?
Also what I'm curious about is whether NU version 4.0.x is compatible with
system 8.6, and if not, whether any updates are available.

Please do not reply to the adress above but to my email-adress, which is:

Thanks,

There is no update to Disk Editor, though supposedly Norton Utilities 5.0
(another year, another commercial upgrade) includes a version that does work on
HFS+ disks.

Disk Doctor 4.0 and later is compatible with Mac OS 8.6. I'd strongly suggest
using at least 4.03, but it seems that you've got that part down already. :)

Hope this helps,
Eric

Somebody's been pulling your leg. Disk Editor has been sold as a part of the
Norton Utilities (and as SUM) package for as long as I can remember. The
"official" line comes from the manual: "...Use Norton Disk Editor to repair a
damaged disk's directory or system area, or salvage data from an irreparably
damaged disk."
