Zucker) Organization: Allen-Bradley Company, Industrial Computer Division Lines: 21 Well, friday I popped up dos in a window and tried to run a DOS program. I got the message, "Sector not found reading drive C:". I typed "exit" returning me to windows. I promptly quit windows telling it not to save it's configuration. Upon running chkdsk I encountered multiple problems. Chkdsk could not repair the disk. No matter what I did after that, I would get the sector not found error. I suspect that windows overwrote the boot sector disk information table and dos did not totally understand the geometry. I had to completely re-install everything. This has happened to me several times. I would have to conclude that Windows has severe bugs. (So what else is new ) -Jaz | Jack A Zucker {cwjcc,pyramid,decvax,uunet}!jaz@icd.ab.com | | Allen-Bradley Company, Inc. or ICCGCC::ZUCKER | | 747 Alpha Drive | Highland Hts., OH 44143 phone: (216) 646-4668 FAX: (216) 646-4484 |
