Precedence: bulk Hello all, I found that CHKDSK in DR-DOS 7.02 seems to be buggy. I tried to repair errors on my HD using CHKDSK /F and got the strange message: "contains an invalid cluster.contains an invalid cluster.contains an invalid cluster... over and over again repeated - instead the prompt to save changes. Afterthem it corrected errors without prompt. I got this effect several times. Please check CHKDSK for bugs. Unfortunatly, I haven't free disks to experiments. Therefore I will replace it to its version from Novell DOS. A question to Caldera: is this bug (if it exists) a simple erratum or it is a result of the attempt to adapt this utility to long file names (if this attempt was really?)? -- Pavel V.
