  Re-loading all of OS/2 isn't necessary. You can add the autocheck parameter to the IFS statement to automatically check the drives on re-boot. I have several machines, including servers, that are all HPFS and have never had an unrecoverable disk drive. Even in the case that you describe, you can boot the OS/2 install disk and at the logo screen ESC to the A: prompt, put in diskette 1 and type chkdsk c: and it will recover the damaged HPFS volume.
