- AND, if your stacked drive gripes about you having to run CHECK to
- fix either FAT or other file errors, you will need to run CHECK with
- the following parameters (it's an undocumented prameter that I got from
- STAC themsleves when my system went flooie two days ago. The problem
- will show up when you go to reoptimize and restack your pre-existing
- Stacker 2.0 drive. First SDEFRAG will stop with a "Fatal Error" and ask
- you to run CHECK. Second, you run CHECK but get no errors reported or
- corrected. Third you run SDEFRAG again and get same error message as before.
-
- To correct this give the following CHECK command:
- CHECK /=d /f
- Then run SDEFRAG again
- SDEFRAG /r
-
- ALSO, call STAC Electronics, tell them the troubles and get them to
- send you disks version 3.0x
