am curious to talk with r-4 users about many things, but most pressing is on the topic of its hard drive maintenance...

is there a danger in running a HD defrag from 3rd party software such as diskeeper?

the options for HD upkeep seem too limited or unstable on the unit itself:

'format' is a complete erase, 'scan' seems a last resort utility to see if the drive is alive or not,

'check' looks closest to a defrag utility, but with the warning that 'there is no guarantee that this command will restore the internal hard disk to a normal operating state.'

anyone with issues or experience related to this?
