- The following comes from the OS/2 FAQL 2.0g:
-
- :
- :With IBM OS/2 2.0, insert the Installation Diskette, Shutdown (if
- :necessary), and reboot. When prompted insert Diskette 1 and press
- :ENTER. When prompted, press ESC. You will be given an OS/2 command
- :line prompt. From there you can make necessary changes to your hard
- :disk [...]
- :
- :You may use this diskette boot method to run CHKDSK on your FAT or HPFS
- :volumes. After you reach the command line, insert Diskette 2. Do not
- :log to another drive. Type CHKDSK X: /F to repair most kinds of damage
- :to your hard disk, replacing X with the appropriate drive letter. [...]
- :
-
- Remember, ``do not log to another drive''. Also, do not drive to another
- log, either. (bad joke, I know :)
