Scandisk for DOS, when started automatically on booting, reports a long

I wouldn't mind, but Scandisk stops at the error and waits for a key to
be pressed. This means I can't go and make coffee and come back with
booting finished and the restart after a power outage won't work.

Scandisk does not tell me which file is wrong and looking over a DIR
listing nothing struck the eye - of course it's far to long to read line
by line. I'm prety sure I can repair the problem manually, but I first
need to find the culprit file. Any ideas how to do that?

Dos has a limitation as to the number of characters a file can be.

Either rename the file with a shorter name

Yes, but he doesn't know which file it is.

or just run scandisk from Windows if you ever need to again

He's done that, and it found no fault.
