True enough. And of course there are ways to not only read but write an NTFS drive from DOS: https://smallvoid.com/article/dos-mount-ntfs.html You'd need write access because the fix required deleting a file. But the snag is that these days Windows 10/11 encrypts the disk by default with Bitlocker, and without the keys, no other OS could access the drive to fix it. So, yes, nice idea, but in practice flawed... -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
