How to run CHKDKS for HPFS & FAT (CP 3/16/94
OS2CHKDS.FAX HOW TO RUN CHKDSK FOR FAT & HPFS
****************************************************************
It is recommended to run CHKDSK on a regular basis as a
"maintenance" process and most effective when run from floppies.
You will not want to interfer with the SWAPPER. The CHKDSK
command should NOT be issued when OS/2 has been booted from the
hard drive, because the SWAPPER.DAT file is in a constant state
of change, and CHKDSK may show misleading results. CHKDSK
procedure may require several passes, because CHKDSK first
cleans up primary structures and then secondary structures.
To run CHKDSK:
1) Perform shutdown, if you're unable to shutdown, turn off
system for 30 seconds, put Installation Disk in drive A:
2) Turn on computer, or press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart system.
3) When prompted, remove Installation Disk and insert Disk 1.
4) Press ENTER..
5) When the WELCOME SCREEN is displayed, press ESC, to display
command prompt ( A: )
6) Remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2 (contains CHKDSK command)
7) To correct errors on hard drive, type appropriate CHKDSK
command followed by the drive on which OS/2 resides.
(X: denotes drive where OS/2 resides...C:, D:, etc.)
~~~~If your drive is formatted for FAT file system, type:
CHKDSK X: /F
~~~~If your drive is formatted for HPFS file system, type:
CHKDSK X: /F:2
If you installed from CD, you will be dropped off at CD
drive in DISK_1 subdirectory, change to DISK_2 subdir.
X:\OS2SE21\DISK_2
(X: is the CD ROM drive)
8) Press ENTER and the CHKDSK command will start.
~~~~If you have any error/s, you will need to run the CHKDSK
command repeatedly until ALL errors are cleared up.
NOTE: After you run CHKDSK repeatedly, and IF you are getting
the same error/s, and they are not being fixed or
corrected, remove the diskette, press, and hold
CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart system.
