/>W> There are a number of 'bugs' in CHKDSK for OS/2.

/>There certainly are. I had a cyclic crosslink in my EA DATA. SF some
/>weeks ago (a cluster pointed back to itself instead of the next cluster)
/>and CHKDSK locked up completely, probably stuck forever in the cluster
/>loop.
/>
/>I had to use DOS's CHKDSK to fix the cross link, and of course I lost

/>Every feature is a bug unless it can be turned off.
/>## CrossPoint v3.02 ##
Checkdisk found some errors on my hard disk yesterday and went ahead and
repaired them. The only problem is it didn't repair the errors it made them
even worse, the end result was I had to reinstall everything :-( not a nice
way to spend the weekend but still at least my system should run OK untill the
next crosslinked file chkdsk finds.......
