Depends  if any errors are encountered, then the same thing, NDD displays a
summary screen with options to Save Report or Continue (even though Auto-Repair
is enabled and the Report Save is already defined) ... doesn't seem to matter
how many drives (stops after each one).

If NO errors are encountered, and only ONE drive is selected, then it DOES exit
properly, BUT the reason I'm running NDD is because of expected known errors in
the directory structure (created by Linux probably & always there weekly). I
can currently only fix these under Win98SE using ScandskW. The exception is DOS
C:, where I HAVE to use NDD. DOS Scandisk finds the errors but says they have
to be fixed under Wins. :(
