Whether you need to recover from a hard-drive disaster or you just want to make sure your Mac is running as smoothly as the day you bought it, Norton Utilities 6.0 for the Mac contains all the tools you'll need. Installation of Norton Utilities 6.0 is quick and easy. If you bought the software to recover a damaged hard drive, the CD acts as a start-up disc, allowing you to recover your drive without damaging any missing data. Even if your drive is apparently working fine, it pays to run Norton Utilities 6.0 from the CD to first check for problems before installation.

Norton Utilities 6.0 consists of five main components to cover almost any maintenance you will ever need to do on your Mac. Norton Disk Doctor scans your disk to find and repair damaged files and applications, as well as detecting physical damage to areas of the disk itself. With Disk Doctor set to automatically repair any damage it finds, keeping your disks error free is a simple task.

Speed Disk optimizes your disk performance by reuniting files that have become fragmented and then moving them around on the disk to improve its performance. FileSaver and UnErase effectively work together to protect your files by tracking files that you delete, and scanning your disk for damage at start-up or shutdown. If you happen to delete a file that you later need to recover, UnErase can often recover the file in its entirety. Finally, Volume Recover works in conjunction with FileSaver to recover disks that are either so badly damaged that they cannot be read, or that have been accidentally initialized.

Norton's reputation and long history of producing Mac disk utilities makes Norton Utilities 6.0 an essential addition to any Mac user's troubleshooting library, and its ease of use and range of integrated functions is second to none. --Daniel Jardine

Amazon.com Product Description
Norton Utilities 6.0 can help your Mac run smoothly and efficiently. Since a poorly organized hard disk can waste storage space, diminish the performance of your Mac, and even cause problems, Norton Utilities contains applications that optimize your machine and reduce the possibility of serious problems. Speed Disk defragments individual files so they'll load faster. When you run it from the bootable Norton Utilities CD, it can also optimize your hard disk by arranging frequently used files for the most efficient access. For even faster access times, you can also use Speed Disk to optimize a disk's directory. Norton FileSaver constantly records vital disk directory information while you're working. If you accidentally delete a file, UnErase can examine the directory and help you recover your data. Its built-in filtering helps you find a specific file or folder quickly and easily. Norton Disk Doctor gives you powerful, easy-to-use tools to find and repair disk problems. If your startup disk won't even boot, you can diagnose it by running Norton Disk Doctor from the CD. Norton Utilities can also monitor your Mac for you, spotting imminent problems before they cause trouble. Volume Recover works with FileSaver to resurrect disks that have crashed or accidentally been reinitialized. Use it on hard drives (internal or external), floppy disks, and removable media, such as Zip disks and Jaz drives. Now Volume Recover can even rebuild the directory structure of a disk, increasing your chances of being able to recover data from it. And you can run Volume Recover from the CD to resurrect dead startup drives.
