- Yes, my method does!
-
- If you specify all your drives for the /AUTOCHECK parameter in the IFS
- statement in your config.sys file, then they will _ALL_ be checked if
- the system is not shut down right.
-
- My method is a bit brutal, but it will work without the need to boot
- from floppy. As long as there are not _active_ applications or
- folders when you reset the computer, you _SHOULD_ not damage anything.
- However, _THIS IS NOT GURARNTEED_!
-
- I hang this machine fairly often, since it is a no-name clone and I am
- always trying weird things. Every time the system gets booted without
- a proper shutdown, _ALL_ drives get checked and fixed!
-
- NOTE- I am refering to a RESET, not to a warm boot using Ctrl-Alt-Del.
