If it is Diskeeper its an archaic version. The current version (which I
use on all my PCs) is awesome and much better than the Windows rubbish.
Diskeeper actually made a knackered disk (wouldn't boot reliably) 100%
reliable. Not sure how it worked, but it did! So although you have to
pay for it, I highly recommend it!
