No partitions >are set up (it's a 20 meg disk). Any info would be appreciated. I also ran across this a couple weeks ago on a Epson Equity II running MS-DOS 3.3 with a Seagate ST238R/Ompti RLL controller. Everything works fine on the system, except when you try to run CHKDSK you get the "probable non-DOS disk". I would also like to know why if anyone can supply an answer. -- |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Glen Midkiff osu-cis!dsacg1!gmidkiff | |From the Internet: gmidkiff@dsac.dla.mil | |Phone: (614)-238-9643 @DLA, Systems Automation Center, Columbus, Oh. |
