I need a good MacIntosh disk utility. I hope this hasn't been compiled before though I suspect there has been prior discussion. I searched the archives back a few months and finding nothing hope to help others as well. Features I'm looking for include: - the ability to undelete files after the garbage is emptied - discover and examine files with errors - disk drive functional parameters - verify and locate bad disk sectors - block off bad sectors of disks so they don't have to be reformated and reinstalled - examine and manipulate binary and text files on the disk at the byte level On reviewing this, it doesn't look very "Macish". The philosophy of the Finder would be that you shouldn't know and don't need to know. But the past few years of working with Mac technology I tired of ambiguous erratic errors that I have no way of isolating or analyzing the way one would on an IBM or Apple II. Is there anything on the market that is worth owning in a pinch? If more than one what is your estimation of comparative value? Thanks to all who take the time to answer.
