PRB: CHKDSK Does Not Recognize Unformatted Hard Disk Drive PSS ID Number: Q65778 Article last modified on 09-20-1991 PSS database name: O_Os2SDK

1.21 1.30 1.30.1

OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS If CHKDSK is run against an unformatted hard disk drive, several error messages are displayed and it is necessary to press CTRL+C to stop the error messages. In addition to SYS1349 error messages, some of the other error messages that are displayed are misleading because they involve extended attributes.

RESOLUTION Microsoft has confirmed this to be a limitation in OS/2 versions 1.21, 1.3, and 1.3.1. At this time, there are no future plans to change this type of functionality.

Additional reference words: 1.30 1.30.1
