- I'm still getting checksum errors and the like on a DIFFERENT drive now
- too! Is it possible the new WDCxxxx-08 chip I installed few weeks ago could
- be/go bad and cause this kind of thing?
-
- Any help is appreciated!
-
- also...
-
- I was noticing that after I re-partitioned my drive, and went to
- try to set up a drive for a Bridgeboard installation, I was supposed to set up
- the drive partition for the BB and set the "DOSTYPE" to a particular number.
- When I did this, the file system name field defaulted to "L:FastFileSystem".
- I could only figure that that "FastFileSystem" is either:
-
- A. _Supposed_ to be STORED IN the L: directory
- B. _Supposed_ to be WRITTEN TO the L: directory
-
- Which is it?
-
- I looked in the L: directory and couldn't find a file called "FastFileSystem"
- so I assumed that it was supposed to WRITE the file to the L: directory, but
- was told by the software that it could not OPEN "L:FastFileSystem".
-
- I'm really confused.
