Below is my original message. I wanted to clarify after receiving many
email replies asking whether I was running chkdsk FROM C: or A:
that I reboot with the installation disks, get a shell, use disk 2
and then run
a:\chkdsk c: /F:2

BTW I am running the fullpack installed on top of 2.11
-------------

I run chkdsk c: /F:2
and it comes up with errors in about 10 files (wav files, executables all
kinds) and says it corrected them. But if I run chkdsk again, before or after
rebooting I get exactly the same errors.

Help please
I don't have four weeks to wait for IBM tech support
