I tried the German newsgroup before (because the error messages are
german) - unsuccesfully.

Recently W2K/SP4 started complainig - regularly - about a specific
partition when booting:

"Drive S: (FAT) has to be check for consistency"
then proceeds with
"Does not seem to be a Windows 2000 drive" and suggests "No" as answer to
"continue?"

After that, there are no problems accessing S:. And chkdsk started from
with W2K reports no problems.

Could anyone give me a hint what the source of the problem might be and
how how can convince W2K to get along better with Drive S:?

Drive S: is a primary partition on the SCSI harddisk - but not the one W2K
boots from. (W2K has this peculiarity that it mounts several primary
partitions.) But that can't be the source of the problem, so I think,
because in all the years it wasn't a problem.
