Hi Willi,
checking tools like chkdsk which support FAT16 only than dosfsck (the only one that supports FAT 32, but even this one stops at 256 gb. The actual Linux dosfsck supports 2 tb, it is part of dosfstools).
If you want to know which type of FAT your kernel supports and which type of FAT a specific DOS drive letter has, you can use WHICHFAT, see: https://auersoft.eu/soft/specials/ Note that the DOS port of dosfsck does not try to limit supported disk sizes. All 28 valid bits of FAT32 are supported and the usual 32-bit sector numbering is supported. Maybe you simply did not have enough RAM to check drives larger than 256 GB? Because dosfsck for DOS is compiled with DJGPP, be aware that it might be tempted to use a swap file via CWSDPMI. You may want to disable that by configuring CWSDPMI in a suitable way, or load another DPMI host like DPMIONE :-) Regards, Eric _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
