Of Drive 10 and TechTool Pro(both made by micromat i think) and also DiskWarrior what are some of the advantages of going with one over the other?

Two very different utilities. You can see what each does;

If I could only have one (

) - it would have to be DiskWarrior.

disk warrior. TT4 kinda blows as well as drive 10. I am a consultant and I tend to rely on DW3 and Norton Disk Doctor. I have TT4, but i never use it.

TechTool Pro works very well in OS X.
I wouldn't use Norton's on any machine running OS X.

Yep, gotta add to that: Stay away from Norton. It's fine for AntiVirus stuff, but make sure that Dr. Norton does _not_ come near your harddrive. He's a bit old and frail and sometimes takes the wrong knife and cuts too deep into the heart of a Mac.

How about: I would not run Norton on any machine, running any OS? I've watched Norton destroy Windows.

It also seems to me that TT4 has a lot more features... ?

Nortons always worked very well on pre OS X systems on the Mac platform.

You are absolutely right. I forgot about Norton saving my 7500 from destruction.
