SUMMARY
=======
Microsoft recommends that you do not use the MS-DOS CHKDSK utility from
Microsoft Windows.
If you choose to run CHKDSK from Microsoft Windows, do not use the /F parameter.
CHKDSK was not designed to run with Windows, and the /F parameter closes any
files your Windows applications are using (such as temporary files).
MORE INFORMATION
================
In MS-DOS version 5.0 and later, attempting to use CHKDSK with the /F parameter
results in the message:
CHKDSK /F cannot be done in a Windows/DosShell command prompt
To check the amount of memory or disk space available when you are in Windows,
choose the About MS-DOS Executive command from the File menu in the MS-DOS
Executive window.
