Hi! Note that this thread is about a PC-XT computer: In FreeDOS, only the 32-bit DOSFSCK supports FAT32. Our 16-bit CHKDSK does not. Yet only CHKDSK can run on the old PC-XT, which interestingly has an ISA IDE harddisk controller with LBA capable BIOS on it :-) The FAT32-enabled CHKDSK of Win9x MS DOS 7.x would probably not run on PC-XT hardware.
