Thanks for reporting the issues you're experiencing with the FAT16 kernels, multiple versions. Do you have a way of verifying file/filesystem/disk integrity outside of FreeDOS? FreeDOS has no 32bit kernels, there's a FreeDOS32 project somewhere but that hasn't gotten very far yet. The 16 and 32 for FreeDOS kernels purely indicate what they support: * either FAT12 and FAT16 filesystems * or FAT12 and FAT16, but also FAT32 filesystems (or rather partitions using these filesystems) It's usually fine to run FAT32-enabled kernels. However that's no reason to have FAT16-only kernels contain certain bugs. I've not tried FAT16 kernel and CHKDSK as you have. I've not tried using CHKDSK either on FAT32 drives, doubt it supports it. Latest FreeDOS CHKDSK is 0.92 ( http://users.telenet.be/imre/FreeDOS/ckdsk092.zip ). maybe I'll find some opportunity to try and see if I can reproduce your issues (CHKDSK on FAT16 kernels reporting errors with files, while on FAT32 kernels no such issues).
