- What is the story ?
-
- Having installed OS/2 (various versions) on a brand-new IBM-PC
- with XGA-2 (ALF-type). Obviously something is wrong with it as
- it comes up with errors like "cannot demand-load segment * ->
- DOSCALL1.DLL", "application caused an illegal semaphore lock" etc.
-
- Sometimes it hangs hard and I have to cold-boot it.
-
- Now, the "funny" thing: All of a sudden, CHKDSK would not repair
- my F:-drive which is HPFS (and has tons of important data).
-
- This is what happens:
-
- CHKDSK F: /F
-
- ChkDsk warns me that data could be lost, I agree in order to
- proceed, immediately thereafter I get a message
-
- "********** ChkDsk attempting to write sector 0
- ********** Contact BillMc or MarkH to debug"
-
- Who is BillMc resp. MarkH ???
-
- How can I get in touch with them (am sitting in overseas, Europe/
- Austria) ? Any phone numbers ? Any instructions ?
-
- Has anyone any ideas ? I need access to that drive to move my stuff over
- to a new machine during the holidays.

- P.S.: If I say "CHKDSK F:" *without* specifying the fix-paramter "/F",
- then 2.00.1 German tells me, that there are "erroneous status
- information in the temporary assignment pool" (actually the
- original text is in German and reads: "Fehlerhafte Statusinformationen
- im temporaeren Zuordnungspool wurden von CHKDSK korrigiert.
- Die fehlerhafte Datei \ORACLE6\CGEN\MENUS\CGM3.SQL wurde von CHKDSK
- entfernt."
- Additionally I get some drive-infos:
-
- 308208 Kilobyte Gesamtgroesse (total amount)
- 157 Kilobyte in 125 Verzeichnissen (directories)
- 157968 Kilobyte in 2401 Benutzerdateien (files)
- 33 Kilobyte in erweiterten Attributen (extended attributes)
- 2048 Kilobyte sind fuer das System res..(reserved for system)
- 148001 Kilobyte verfuegbar (free)
-
- P.P.P.S.: Testing the drive with GammaTech finds no errors reading all of
- my 616.448 sectors.
