Post #11,981 by bconnors 10/5/01 3:39:12 PM Reply	FAT16 This company is "trailing" edge, nothing near "leading" or even "bleeding" edge. Most everybody here is NT 4.0, SP4, like my machine. So what did the microbrains in Redmond call ScanDisk under NT? BConnors "Prepare for metamorphosis. Ready, Kafka?"
Post #11,987 by Silverlock 10/5/01 4:27:30 PM Reply	Doesn't matter If it's FAT16, just get yourself over to a 95/98 box, make a boot floppy and copy the scandisk of the box to the floppy. If that still doesn't do it, take Ashtons excellent advice and get a copy of spinrite. For every human problem, there is a neat, simple solution; and it is always wrong H. L.

Post #12,066 by Andrew Grygus 10/6/01 12:20:03 PM Reply	Heck, with FAT16 you could use any chkdsk . . . . including the DR-DOS and OS/2 chkdsk. For FAT32 I have a Win95 boot disk with the MS-DOS 7.0 Scandisk. That will work with FAT16 too. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
