Defragmenting my virtual DeskPro 386/25. Since PC DOS 5.02 doesn't yet include DEFRAG, I am using Speed Disk 8.0 from Norton Utilities. This is even more fancy, running under Windows 3.1. 😉

@rubenerd Had my first #DR-DOS experience with 5.0. It had disk compression. Magic! Until I found a hidden+system file that was very large (32MB, the size of the partition I had compressed), so naturally I deleted it.

Felt very smart for about 4 seconds.

Luckily I knew all about #NortonUtilities and DiskEdit so I could manually "undelete" it. And no, neither DR-DOS nor Norton's undelete tools could do it, probably because the partition type was wrong or something.
