I have a 120 meg maxtor split into 4 30 meg partitions. in one of the partitions
If I do a chkdsk it tells me that one of the FAT tables is bad.
Fine. How do I fix it? It seems like I had this problem before, but
it eventually went away by itself.
Norton tells me thge FAT is bad and it stops. I can read all the files
on this disk, but I would feel safer if I could fix it. ( I
have most everything backed up. I run pkzip -ex (max compression) and
my almost full C: (24meg out of 30) is reduced to a 12.7 meg file, then I
back that up. I would hate to use DOS backup without any kind of
compression.

I have heard that some utilities, such as some versions of Norton's Adv Util are incompatable with programs that partition your HD's, such as Disk Manager. That could be a reason fro your losing your FAT table. Also, I found that Microsoft SmrtDrv (SamrtDrive [sp]) killed one of my FAT tables. I sed Disk M ager to partition my disk. Check into that.

Did you try Norton in the maintenance mode?
