It doesn't matter. I just press the X in the upper right hand corner when it's done. Speed disk may restart when you press one of the two buttons, but it should prompt you that it's unecessary to run. HTH

Just checked in to see what's up with this thread. I see that I was not totally clear in my answer, when you have already defragmented your drive, immediately restarting speed disk should then tell you that it doesn't need to be done at this time.I have been using Norton System Works for years on 95, 98, and XP systems and have not encountered the problem described in the answer that says to use windows programs only. I purchased the product primarily for the anti-virus and registry editor (Windoctor) and now in the 2002 version, Ghost. Speed disk was just a bonus.
Please post a comment if we're not on the right track here so we might be able to better help you with your question.

The OK button is there because you may have more than 1 drive partitioned and having done the C drive, may now want to do the D or other drives. Just press the FINISH button if you're all done to exit.

watch out using norton speed disk on your drives, i noticed on my computer (running W98) that the program may finish but that it really did not do the job (I had to go back to using the Windows based defragmenter).

Your drives can be really fragmented right now if you havent checked out the differences.
