Warm boot should have done as it did (Ctl-Alt-Del)! Its the close-down method you must be careful of. HPFS has a 'clean' marker - HPFS starts 'clean', and is then 'dirty' until closed down with the system shutdown command - so Ctl-Alt-Del leaves it dirty as does hitting the big red switch. On restarting a 'dirty' HPFS you can run chkdsk against it, which will then set the clean bit, and the HPFS will be readable again. Alistair Banks OS/2 Group Microsoft.
