New 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?

New 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;

New chkdsk
I know chkdsk got a bad name but that was just the DOS version. The NT version should be much better, but I don't know what it's like on FAT16 partitions.

New 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.
