My 2.8-fat32 version can actually only READ from disk! Writes are only simulated for the second pass (good feature of all DOSFSCK versions to have this - we could add "write change log to binary undo file" and would be close to SCANDISK "create undo floppy" that way). If my DOSFSCK version finally tries to write to the real disk, my driver shows errors like: > raw_write (pos=3824636, size=4, *data=0xa217c) IGNORED So if you want to really CHANGE the disk (this limitation does not apply if you apply DOSFSCK on diskimage files), then you have to use the DOSFSCK 2.10 version of Imre. The other point is that 2.10 fixes a few bugs like the one where DOSFSCK would prune parts of directories when trying to remove broken directory entries there, so I do not recommend to create a really writing DOSFSCK 2.8-fat32 derivative. If DOSFSCK 2.10 / Imre does not work for your kernel (quite possible, the disk drivers are kind of specialized) then you have to fix the disk I/O drivers of his DOSFSCK 2.10 ... Maybe somebody can do this before the end of the month? Would be great to have a working DOSFSCK which can read AND write FAT12, FAT16 *and* FAT32, in FreeDOS and Windows-DOS kernels. Feel free to take my drivers for 2.8-fat32 as an inspiration. Eric ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: GNOME Foundation Hackers Unite!
