Mark,

I have two 60G IDE partitions on same physical drive - used for data
and backup. Expect 10 minutes for a near empty chkdsk and up to 30
minutes for a full partition. I just ran it on a partition with 21G of
files (of 60G) and it took about 15 minutes. YMMV.

Don't put anything needed to boot on such a drive and don't include it
in config.sys autocheck. Then you can run it after boot while using
the system as long as that drive is not used.

I have had 64G previously on HPFS, the limit. Never had a problem.

Jim
