Hi guys
I need help here. I've got this 250Gig HD which I separated in 2 partitions using Disk Utility on a Mac, one of the partitions I've formatted as Fat-32 and the other one as HSF+ coz the other one would not copy a file bigger that 4 Gig. So anyways when I hook the HD to me PC and try to do a chkdsk on the HSF+ partition its says that cant do that for raw format, while at the other partition don't have a problem running chkdsk. Is there any way I can run a chkdsk. Thanks

chkdsk does not support HFS+
You'd better use DiskWarrior for Mac to do so

What are you using this foir a Mac or a PC. Stop mixing file system. FAT32 is old and now for pen drives and small file. If you are using Windows 98 which I do not really believe is possible in this day and age use FAT32 other wise stick with NTSF. Basically use one file system to format your drive with. I have this all the time with people and it makes it so hard to try and clean up their drives this way. Do not install windows on FAT32 it is a dog and can hang up your system. Windows works better on NTSF. Check disk is a old DOS command used in Windows 3.1 up to Windows 98. If you really want to screw up your disk why not run some other old DOS commands like fdisk or format/u this really might help you out when trying to play with file systems. Read your book before formatting and installing multiple system in partitation for your OS. Make sure it is compatiable before you install it
