Hi Sparky, > Hey will the chkdsk for fat32 ever be made? ^^;
It already exists as (a bit old) dosfstools port: http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=dosfsck If you want dosfsck to either "look like chkdsk" or "work on 8086 and 80286" then please have a look at earlier threads about the issue: Looks do not have a priority but feel free to fork a chkdsk-style version if you think otherwise ;-) Dosfsck for 8086 would have serious performance issues because FAT32 are large data structures, also FAT32 disks often have many files and dirs while FAT16 allows only up to 64k files or dirs. A subset of the dosfsck features MIGHT work with suitable modifications in algorithms and memory management at reasonable speed on 8086. However, as far as I remember earlier discussions (please look them up in the freedos-user list archive), many nice and useful checks are either lost when only 1M RAM is available or become horribly slow. If the topic REALLY interests you, please start a NEW thread by citing the list of checks and their 8086 viability based on a summary of old threads.
