- You should try booting from an OS/2 boot disk, and running chkdsk drv: /f:3
- as described in the FAQ list.
-
- If the /f:3 option doesn't help, you may be in some deep trouble.
- There was a problem IBM described, where the HPFS pointer trees became
- corrupted, and the reccommended action was a complete reformat using the
- Service pack. Contact IBM if you are in this deep. (I'll let IBM handle
- it, without giving others on the net an opportunity to form a false and
- negative impression)
