Dear Netters:

   I just upgraded my hard disk drive to a Corner 120MB. But it seems to me 
there is something wrong with it. The pkunzip program simply refuse to 
unpack becasue it says hard disk is full, while the chkdsk says lots of 
disk space still available. The zip file passed CRC checking on the floppy
but after I copied them to the hard disk, it fails CRC checking. (I tried
both xcopy and copy command).  I have never met these situations before,
do you know what's the reason ? (The Macfee's antivirus scan doesn't find
anything wrong. )

   My dealer says maybe the pkunzip file messed up the HD's FAT table. 
Also another odd thing is that the various commands that I put in the 
autoexec.bat file like DOS PATH sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work.
It's very unstable. The system get halted if I set the comspec=c:\dos\command.com, but this is exactly the same command.com as in the root directory.

   Anyone knows what's happening here? 

Regards, Xiaojun.
