I believe Steven's points are correct. It only matters
which partitions CHKDSK determines to be "in use". That you
can perform a CHKDSK from floppies seems to confirm it.

I have used the /AUTOCHECK:+D switch for HPFS.IFS with good
results. A quick edit of CONFIG.SYS and a reboot might prove
to be faster than booting from floppies.
