Hi everybody,

just noted that DOSFSCK is missing from 
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/.
Which is sad as CHKDSK doesn't touch FAT32 drives. I'm not aware of other 
chkdsk like programs for FAT32.

Instead I stumbled over this gem of software 
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/scandisk/

Citing from SCANDISK.TXT

Hi Jim,

just before i left the office tonight i gave it a quick try to build the 
diskscan program. It creates a 1KB size COM file which does not much more 
than checking if it can read all sectors of a FAT12 or FAT16  partition. A 
very "basic" start for a "real" ScanDisk. As the file is not very large, i 
have the executable attached, just in case you want to put it in the files 
archive too.

I had a quick look at the Pascal source and this looks much more promising. 
It seems to be able to handle even FAT32 partitions, but i don't know how far.

have a good night,

Ralf


Congratulations for this marvel of software engineering.

Tom
