Hi Wayne
I just checked Hobbes to make sure that they are on accurate
version 5.05: OK !

I just wanted to provide the link to DFSee's webiste and found
this here:
http://www.scoug.com/os24u/2001/scoug012.dfseetutorial.html

Here is the direct link to DFSee:
http://www.dfsee.com/dfsee.htm

which also is linking to the SCOUG tutorial ;-)

As a NON-techie I am not very familiar with this interesting tool.
I also have to learn much more but hope I will never have a need
to
really need it ;-)

I will place some answers dirct into your text below:

Already commented. You may be more technical oriented and may
understand better how DFSee works ;-)
On the other hand: Jan van Wijk is very helpful and very prompt
with his assistance !

Intersting is that you can use different versions of DFSee for
OS/2, DOS and also WIN systems ;-))

On and off I am also still working with my old PM 2.03 ;-)
but feel insecure with since I am using these bigger HDD's
with up to 75GB.
I already ran into harsh problems that all data above 32GB
disappeared ;-((

The trouble with scandisk under WIN is: Not you may have done ...
... ScanDisk comes and runs without any warning like a CHKDSK
but with ugly consequences sometimes ;-((

I have read your prior post and suggest to prepare a Maintence
Partition
with BootOS2 from your present system environment ;-)
BTW: If you apply a newer FP ...
... the MP will also be recognized by the "FixServe" program and
so your
MP is maintained together with your real system ;-))

I already have done so !

Cheers, svobi
I already
