Tech / Prosoft Drive Genius

« on: October 08, 2011, 10:11:15 PM »

I have had Drive Genius in my arsenal of disk utilities for several years. I keep it on a minimal install of Snow Leopard along with DiskWarrior, Data Rescue, SuperDuper and of course Disk Utility. Up until recently I mostly used it for it's Scan feature to check for bad blocks as DiskWarrior and Disk Utility have fixed most every problem I have ran into. That is until couple of weeks ago. If it wasn't for Drive Genius I would have lost 3.5 TB of data. This included my main hard drive in my laptop along with both backups of that drive on two separate external hard drives. It is kind of a long story but if you are interested in the details you can read them here: Mac OS Hints Forum
Yes after that experience I would highly recommend Drive Genius. I was able to get all of my data back intact when even DiskWarrior wasn't able to.

Thank you for the welcome. I have been reading this forum for several years and finally decided to register. As to your second question, when you move your curser to the top of the screen and the menubar appears, click on the arrows in the blue box in the righthand corner. This will bring you out of full screen mode and into windowed mode. Clicking on them again (they are now in the corner of the window's title bar and no longer in a blue box) will toggle you back to full screen mode. Any application capable of full screen can be toggled in this way.

Just move your curser to the top of the screen and your menubar will appear. This is true for any app that is in full screen mode.
