Several years ago, when I purchased my Pentium 120, Disk Manager was
installed with Win 3.1 which I immediately upgraded to Win95.
My system was rarely able to be soft rebooted. I even upgraded Disk
Manager to the latest version. Performance was ok. Since I know that my
bios is new enough to work with my hard disk directly, I decided long
ago to blow away DM, but I did not want to spend the time to do
appropriate backups. I also was not convinced that my problem was Disk
Manager.
More recently, I decided that I wanted to do some reconfiguration, so I
decided to bite the bullet and do a full backup, et. al. It took me two
full days to backup, restore, and get my system backup on the network
at home. (Other problems like dos tape restore tool diskette bad,
Windows Setup was not working from my cd-rom drive (that was an IRQ
conflict).
After getting windows95 up and running I was able to successfully
reboot. With all the reinstalls I had to do, reboots were working fine.
The bottom line is that if you have Ontrack Disk Manager, and have
problems such as long shutdown times, inability to soft reboot,
occasional boot failures, consider blowing away Disk Manager. It will
make Win95 much happier. In some cases you may see a performance
improvement.

I just did a complete reinstall (mostly anyways) of W95 and had to jump
through a couple hoops to get DM off the drive! Even after fdisk /mbr I
had to run DM to disable/remove it from the disk....
I can't wait to start on Qlogic PCI SCSI on my next machine. I wonder
what is in store for me there? A 1080 and 540 will be used for my disks
and am not going to install OSR2. I will wait for a bit on this.
