My zenith PC has just developed an odd symptom.  During some disk operations,
we had a power flicker -- when the system was powered back, everything seemed
to be fine until I tried to run pctool to undelete a file.  "Error in FAT".
I ran chkdsk, which responded with "Probable non-DOS disk.  Continue?".

My drive SEEMS to be fine.  It accesses, it writes, everything is normal.
When I tell chkdsk to continue it reports the disk as being fine.  I ran
Nortons Disk Doctor -- it reported that the FATs differed (2 on my drive)
and corrected that.

But chkdsk still claims that I have a "Non-DOS disk" even though eveything
runs fine.  I am concerned -- does anyone have any advice?
