- Jeff,
-
- why does CHKDSK not work from within OS/2??
- Try one (or all) of the following:
- a) run CHKDSK /F (from floppy boot, if necc. Insert Install Disk, then
- instert disk #1 when prompted, then hit ESC to get to the command line
- and run CHKDSK /F C: of disk #2)
- b) delete c:\wp root. sf <type "del wp*.?sf from DOSprompt)
- c) also delete c:\ea data. sf as a _last_ mesure. You will lose all
- settings from applications on drive C
-
- Use step a) after each of b) and c). This should get you working.
