BL> It's a while since I tried to install OS/2, but as I understand it,
BL> OS/2 runs chkdsk automatically and "corrects" any errors by running
BL> fdisk. What I am saying is that if you installed OS/2 with LBA, on a 
BL> non-LBA formatted disc, OS/2 would find lots of errors and
"fix" them 
BL> by stuffing the file access, especially on cylinders above 1024. This 
BL> is what I assumed you did.

It runs it when you have installed OS/2 and you boot it.  I hadn't finished
the installation.  All that had happened was the 7 disks had been loaded,
and it rebooted (to install the rest).  The disk was corrupt by that time.
