In reference to CHKDSK's message about 0 bytes in 1 hidden file,
if I remember correctly, CHKDSK is probably registering the
volume label, in which case PCTOOLS does show it (at the top of
the screen, instead of in the file listing).
Try installing the system onto the disk (i.e. SYS A:), and then
run a CHKDSK. It should register xxxxxx bytes in 3 hidden files,
where xxxxxx depends on the version of the system that you are
using. Respectively, the hidden files should be:
IBMBIO.COM -- Contains the BIOS routines
IBMDOS.COM -- Contains the DOS routines
(volume label)
IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM will appear in the PCTOOLS window. They
will probably have the HIDDEN, SYSTEM, and READ-ONLY bits on.
It may also have the ARCHIVE bit on.
