PRB: File Created Under OS/2 Shouldn’t Be Deleted Under MS-DOS PSS ID Number: Q67670 Article last modified on 08-13-1991 PSS database name: O_Os2SDK

OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS If CHKDSK is run in real mode without any parameters, the following error message will be generated:

\ \ attempted to claim an extended attribute that does not exist. The error was corrected. CAUSE This error message is displayed because a file was created under OS/2, and then deleted under MS-DOS. MS-DOS does not know about extended attributes; consequently, it does not delete the extended attribute information when it deletes files.

RESOLUTION To avoid this error message, do not delete files under MS-DOS that were created in OS/2.

If this problem occurs, run CHKDSK /F from OS/2. From the boot drive (typically, drive C), execute the following steps:


 * 1) Boot the install disk.
 * 2) Press ESC.
 * 3) Switch to Disk 1.
 * 4) Execute “chkdsk c: /f”.
