Hello,

If my memory is good (and i think it is), this message appears when chkdsk 
doesn't find a DOS signature at the beginning of the FAT. In other words,
the
first byte of your FAT on the C: disk isnot 0xF8.
This is a bad news. It seems to prove that your FAT may be wrong...

No, i don't think pkunzip could cause such a problem, even if you are using
beta release. May be a virus... Why don't you run your favorite virus
checker?
