Er, 486 != XT hardware. I still have my original XT sitting on a shelf. It has a replacement motherboard with a 10 *mhz* NEC V20 CPU, a Hercules graphics card, and two Seagate ST-225 20 *MB* MFM hard drives connected to an add-on controller card. (They pre-date IDE.) If the target is genuine XT hardware, I'm not surprised if a more recent CHKDSK will fail to run. Among other reasons, it's likely compiled to run on >386 CPUs, and simply won't execute on anything earlier. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
