- The chkdsk message is there because you are running chkdsk under OS/2 on a
- disk volume that has files open. chkdsk can't (and we don't want it to) move
- files around that are open and possible some application is reading writing to
- these files. Boot from Installation disk, insert disk one when asked, press
- escape at first white with ble letters screen, insert disk 2, run chkdsk. Or,
- if you are not running with the Service Pack, and your drive A: is a 1.44MB
- drive, get seboot20.zip from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
