SCANDISK /? is not self-documenting like other Win98 DOS commands, but refers you to on-line help for details of parameters etc. (NB: the wording is inexact: overlook small errors in "quoted" references.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

ScanDisk test
It means that the file system is just fine. Scandisk does not test the
disk, only the file system. If you included the Thorough option it means that Scandisk can read and write to all the data areas on the disk. There may have been errors in the read or write, but Scandisk was able to get around them, for instance by re-trying the operation. Scandisk should not be used as a substitute for a good disk diagnostic program. -- Jeff Richards ---------------------------------------- "Aster" wrote in message ... snip Just finished running Thorough test, and it show me ScanDisk did not find any errors on this drive.
