About every 2nd or 3rd time I boot the 2.1b, the system goes reports detecting
file errors, and goes through AUTOCHKDSK on my three logical HPFS drives. This
occurs, although not on every boot, despite my having gone through routine
"shut down" procedure. This morning, it did it again, but this time went
through one or two drives checked, then halted with a system error, which I
(stupidly) forgot to write down. It said something like "Hit <ENTER> to
continue" so I did. The system then filled the screen with "CHKDSK corrected
a disk space allocation error" messages. Once filled, they probably kept going
on by, because the disk chugged along for about 13 minutes or so. When WPS
finally appeared, I shut down, and booted from A: and ran a CHKDSK /F:3 from
there. Forty minutes or so later it had finished (HDD logical partition for
the problem logical drive is 677 megs or so. I rebooted again, and all seems
well.
My question is: What might be going on that the HPFS drives must be CHKDSKd
every several boots or so??? And, am I risking a total loss of data? My
system: 486/66dx2 AMI EISA motherboard with 16 meg. caching AMI EISA SCSI-2
Model 44 controller, Toshiba 877 meg HDD (SCSI-2), Diamond Stealth VRAM
video card (yeah, I know, I know), 16 megs RAM. C: drive is primary partition
formatted 100 meg FAT and running DOS 5.0; D: is 50 meg logical HPFS partition
with 2.0 GA+SP installed, but not running; E: is 50 meg logical HPFS partition
with 2.1b installed, and running (I use boot mangler); F: is HPFS logical
drive with the rest of the disk space, and programs and data are loaded here.
Suggestions???? TIA!!!
