- Checkdrive V1.0
-
- Ever had a crash at the wrong moment ? Forgot to watch the drive-light when
- rebooting ? Saw your HD struggle itself through the startup-sequence while
- trying to validate the HD ? Watched in awe while the 'Volume XXX is not
- validated' requesters where having a party ?
-
- Here's the solution. Put 'Checkdrive' in your startup-sequence, preferably
- somewhere near the start.
-
- Checkdrive accepts only one type of argument: the name(s) of the drive(s) to
- check.
-
- Example startup-sequence :
-
- c:setpatch >nil:
- c:checkdrive dh0: dh1: dh2:
-
- [etc.]
-
- If your drives are validated and writeable nothing will happen, and
- checkdrive will return immediately, if not checkdrive will wait until the
- specified drives are validated and then continue. This will prevent the
- other programs in your startup-sequence from loading or trying to write to
- the drive while the it is still busy validating. This will prevent a lot of
- HD trashing and 'Volume XXX is not validated' requesters.
-
- ** CheckDrive needs KS/WB 2.XX or higher to run ! **
