After a recent system crash on my '286 clone, I ran CHKDSK on my
hard drive (C:) and it gave me the error message "Probable Non-DOS
disk,  Continue (Y/N)?"  The CHKDSK reported no errors with my
disk, and my files all seem to be intact.  I also ran the Norton
disk check program and it didn't find any problems.  Any idea
why I get this message about my hard drive when running CHKDSK?

I'm running generic DOS 3.3, and the drive is a 40 Meg Seagate
251-1 partitioned as 30 Meg in drive C: and 10 Meg in drive D:.
The CHKDSK on drive D: doesn't give the error message.  The 
system files are on drive "C:" and boots up fine.  The BIOS is
an AMI one.  Any hints or clues are appreciated!!!
