The first thing I though of was file attributes. You can find these relatively easy with FA /U /S in the root dir of your harddisk. It find all files with 'unusual' attributes. Unfortunately files with the 'archive' bit set are also considered to be 'unusual'. But it turned out that there were no such files present (besides IBMCOM and IBMBIO of course, wich are accounted for at the beginning o the disk) I would like to find the offending files too. Unusual attributes are out, CHKDSK runs OK and I don't use copy protected programs which must be installed on harddisk. Any suggestions? Richard (...!mcvax!neabbs!richard)
