Maybe CHKDSK does that (I don't use the DOS-one), lumping _all_ errors into 
255, but with other programs you should be carefull. ERRORLEVEL without any 
operator checks to "greater equal"!
      ERRORLEVEL [operator] n
           This test retrieves the exit code of the preceding external
           program.  By convention, programs return an exit code of 0 when
           they are successful and a number between 1 and 255 to indicate an
           error.  The condition can be any of the operators listed above
           (EQ, !=, GT, etc.).  If no operator is specified, the
           default is GE.  The comparison is done numerically.
