The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q134750 SYMPTOMS
After you install Windows 95, the MS-DOS version of ScanDisk does not
operate. When you try to start ScanDisk from the DOS directory, you
receive one of the following error messages:
This version of Microsoft SCANDISK will work only with MS-DOS
versions 6.0 and later.
This version of Microsoft SCANDISK will work only on MS-DOS versions
6 and 6.20.
CAUSE
Setup leaves the MS-DOS version of ScanDisk in the DOS directory for
backwards compatibility, but this version of ScanDisk does not run in
Windows 95.
RESOLUTION
Run ScanDisk from the Windows\Command folder, or run it by clicking the
Start button, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to
System Tools, and then clicking ScanDisk.
MORE INFORMATION
You can run the version of ScanDisk in the DOS directory only if you boot
your computer to your previous version of MS-DOS. We do not recommend that
you do this because running the MS-DOS version of ScanDisk from the DOS
directory can damage long filenames.
