Subject: [opendos] Controller card or Norton's SpeedDisk eat files w/ OpenDOS?

Greetings,

Well, decided against installing OpenDOS on the server here, and threw it
onto one of the nodes instead. Installs fine, AMI BIOS and all. After a few
reboots, I noticed a few problems though. I recently replaced the old HDD/FDD
controller with a Promise caching controller. I've setup Norton's SpeedDisk
to defrag and reorder the HD on every boot. Now, after the second reboot
after the card change, I noticed a large number of files were missing,
strangely, almost exactly half the files. I ran CHKDSK /F, and found 2900+
lost chains, almost exactly half the number of allocation units I had in use
before. No big deal, I will just re-install, but, who is the culprit? The new
controller card, or OpenDOS + SpeedDisk? Anyone else have this happen (I hope
not!). Any help would be great.
