You misunderstood me. For example, take one algo of copy protection which leaves a watermark on a sector. When you try to optimize the volume, Norton runs fine by ignoring it. They take it as a data. But TTP detects as a block error. They used to repair it which of course damage the copy protection so the application will not run anymore. Later they had to analyze the signature of such so now TTP detects such, then it stops operation. Since TTP Optimization runs on physical data, it cannot skip the sector like Norton does. I hope you understand the difference. -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] <[PROTECTED]> <[PROTECTED]>
