Good suggestion George - one correction. Spin-write (I don't know
about the others) will reformat a disk in place without requiring
a backup. Of course, backups are a good idea, and I know one person
who trashed their disk using Spin-Write, but it was worked great for
me. The difference between the correct interleave and one too small
is dramatic.
