First I'm running the normal GA release with the patch for the swapper
file.  CHKDSK /F:3 run during the boot up after a nasty crash does some
repair to the hpfs partition (or something), at least according to the 
IBM rep.  he told me that I when CHKDSK is counting the percent complete and
pauses for a while it is repairing a problem.  he then described the minor
problems as layered on the disk so one pass will get rid of the top layer,
and then the next run will get rid of the next layer, etc.etc, and that I 
should run it until I don't have the delays any longer.  I tried several times
but ran out of time, and it still had the pauses...so I dont know.
