ScanDisk in Setup Does Not Scan DriveSpace 3 Drive's MDFAT (140012)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q140012 SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows 95 over an existing installation of Windows 95 on
a hard disk compressed with DriveSpace 3, the version of ScanDisk run by
Setup can check only the FAT for potential errors. The version of ScanDisk
run by Setup cannot check the MDFAT. If you did not update your Windows 95
Startup Disk with Microsoft Plus!, the same situation occurs with the
version of ScanDisk on the Startup Disk.
CAUSE
The version of ScanDisk run by Setup is not designed to work with
DriveSpace 3.
RESOLUTION
Before you run Setup again, run ScanDisk with the Thorough option on all
drives, including the compressed drive and its host drive. Run ScanDisk
from the System Tools menu, or from your Startup Disk (if it was upgraded
with Microsoft Plus!).
