You get this error if either CHKDSK or one or both of the two hidden system files are of the wrong version. Since everything else works, it is probably CHKDSK which is old. Compare its date/time with that of the other files, f.e. COMMAND.COM. If it is much older then CHKDSK has not been updated and you should copy the new version to your (hard)disk. Note: I had MS-DOS 3.3 and now have DR DOS 6.0, but the above is a general DOS issue.
