-
- Thank you for your hint about "CHKDSK F: /F:3" --- it would not work !!!
-
- Anyway, before posting the message that I cannot access drive F: nor
- have it successfully repaired with CHKDSK, I permutated all parameters of
- CHKDSK:
-
- CHKDSK F: .... tells me about troubles in the allocation pool and
- a file, CHKDSK would have to remove (no problems here)
-
- CHKDSK F: /V .... displays all files on the locked partition
-
- CHKDSK F: /F:0 ... same as CHKDSK F:
-
- CHKDSK F: /F:1 thru /F:3 results in asking me to get in touch with
- "BillMc" resp. "MarkH" to debug.
-
- All sectors of drive F: can be read without errors with the test-function of
- the famous GammaTech Utilities. So this leads me to believe that there are
- logical errors in the HPFS-definition for drive F: (due to cold-boots
- necessary because of a faulty PC) in which the developpers are interested in.
-
- As I have no means to get in touch with them I am asking in Internet for help,
- (maybe some IBM'ers could give me hint?) as I would need some data on that
- drive.
-
- Someone suggested that a faulty IBM1*.ADD-driver caused such a message on his
- machine. This definitely seems not to be the case, as I have installed various
- versions of OS/2 on other partitions and attempted to CHKDSK that locked drive
- of mine (US-versions of: GA+SP which was installed on another partition, then
- GA alone; German-versions of: GA, preloaded OS/2; by the way using or applying
- the service pack after that disk is locked is not possible).
-
- Someone out there who could help me ?
