NORTON DESKTOP for DOS - FAXBACK INFORMATION
Subject: SPEEDISK TIPS

PROBLEM:

Too many unmovable files!

Speedisk shows many files as "unmovable".  The files that MUST be 
"unmovable" are IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM, 
IMAGE.IDX, and the Windows SwapFile 386SPART.PAR.  In addition, 
copy protected files, non-standard EXE's, and lost clusters will 
be "unmovable".  The files that have been detected as "unmovable" 
can be listed by choosing the "SHOW STATIC FILES" option from the 
Information menu.  Also, someone may have added files to the 
"UNMOVABLE FILES" list in the configuration if several people have 
access to the same machine.  Files that are listed as "static", 
but can be moved are NSCHED.SWP and the SPEEDISK Help file.

RECOMMENDATION:

First, run NDD to ensure that there are no lost clusters.  NDD can
be run from either the Tools menu or from the DOS prompt.

Make sure NSCHED.EXE is NOT running before entering Speedisk to 
free up space taken by NSCHED swapper files.  If you are in the 
Norton Desktop, exit by typing ALT+F, X.

Next, type NSCHED /U.  This will uninstall the scheduler and 
delete the swap file.

Now run Speedisk by typing SPEEDISK.  If Speedisk complains about 
not enough memory, see tips for memory usage below.

Running Speedisk from the DOS prompt rather than the pull downs is 
recommended so that larger drives may be optimized.  This also 
insures Speedisk can move all Desktop files.

Unless you uninstalled NSCHED from the command line by following 
the steps above, the NSCHED.SWP will not be deleted.  Use the 
Desktop to search for and delete NSCHED.SWP.  Always make sure 
NSCHED.EXE was not loaded before deleting this file!  If you use
SuperFind to locate and delete NSCHED.SWP, the SuperFind window
will still list the file even after you delete it because the
window is really a list of files and not a true drive window.

Check "UNMOVABLE FILES" and remove any programs from the list that
you know to be acceptable.


PROBLEM:

Out of memory!

Speedisk runs out of memory during operation.

RECOMMENDATION:


Norton Application Note      Rev. 6/92           #4105     Page 1 of 2




Run Speedisk from the DOS prompt, not from within ND.  Speedisk
can only use conventional memory and UMB's.  ND uses any available
UMB's and takes up 5k or so of conventional memory.  This reduces
the amount of memory available for Speedisk to use.

Boot up with a minimal system.  Normally this minimal system will 
be your memory manager, DOS=HIGH,UMB (for DOS 5 systems) and 
FILES=30 statement in your CONFIG.SYS.

Run Speedisk with the /NOHELP parameter so that Speedisk does not 
try to load the online help files.
