I would suggest to ivestigate why does it complain about the FAT being
corrupt. One approach would be to use some program that spies on
DOS/BIOS function calls issued by a program and see which calls does
CHKDSK use and why do they fail. Sorry, I don't have enough time to
give precise pointers to such spy programs. Two things that come to
mind are the INTRSPY program from "Undocumented DOS" by Schulman
et. al. and a similar program published in the PC Magazine about two
years ago (sorry, I forgot the name). I don't know whether these will
work on Windows 95. Or, you could always roll your own program that
does such a spying.
