Hi, this problem may not belong in this group, but the problem is 
frightening me--don't want to lose the data on my HD.  I only used
these groups because I'm sure the most knowledgeable persons read these
groups and I'd appreciate any insight.  If you are not interested, just 
hit "n" or "k" and send flames to circular file.  [-)

I have recently gotten MS-DOS 3.2 for my computer and installed it
after first backing up everything on my 20MB hard disk.  The method
I chose for installing it was to format the hard disk via DOS 3.2's
format command.

When I restored everything back to my hard disk, everything was there
and in working order.  (this was about a week ago).  Now, CHKDSK will
not run properly.  It tells me:

	D> CHKDSK
	Volume label ... created ...
	probable non-DOS disk.
	continue (Y/N)?

The first time I saw this error, my jaw dropped in my lap (hasn't been the
same ever since).  I of course said "N" because I have no idea what 3.2
will do to my data.

OK netters.  What do you recommend?  I really like the new stuff that 3.2
will do for me, but if i'm going to have major problems with it, i'll go
back to 3.1--at least it never buggered me like 3.2 seems to have.

Thanks for replys and as before, flames can go to circular file	[-)
