Re: chkdsk /f on triple boot 701C



     Hello,
     
     It is not complaining about the PATH= but the path portion of a 
     filename. Dos has a limit of 64 characters for the path name (I do not 
     remember if it includes the file name) I had files fail to open because 
     I had paths like: 
     C:\INTERNET\FTPPROG\DOWNLOAD\THINKPAD\WINDOWS\DRIVERS\STORAGE\zipdrv.zip
     
     Does the directories repeat? Like 
     C:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\MDOS\WINOS2\MDOS\WINOS2...  I seen some problems 
     were lower level directories have entrys pointing to higher level 
     directories. Earlier versions of Chkdsk would hang in a infinite 
     recursion loop processing the directories.  I think the newer ones 
     will complain.
