- i've just goten back into PC service recently and have only been
- using MSDOS 5 for a few weeks. in these few weeks i have seen an
- astounding number of corrupted FATs, partition tables and file
- systems in general. i'm *very* tempted to blame DOS but i just
- don't know... every machine i'v seen this problem on had WP51
- as well. is there an easy fix/known problem that causes these
- sorts of errors?
-
- also, just yesterday i partitioned a 102 MB drive to 51 and 51;
- today, D: is gone. chkdsk c: shows correct numbers, but fdisk thinks
- C: is 102 MB, which is absurd. Norton found the IBM stamp missing
- from a partition (didn't say which one) and fixed that, but NDD also
- thinks C: is 102 MB. any ideas?
