    annoying problem with ntfs4dos's chkdsk program

    Hello there. I brought a copy of ntfs4dos from avira formerly datapol.
    I tried asking them for help but they were stumped
    When I run their chkdsk program, it searches for the windows\system32 autochk program and runs it, then I immediately get "corrupt master file table, chkdsk aborted"
    I have 2 80 gig seagate internal hard drives.
    When I load chkdsk normally from within windows, the check runs without a problem
    What could be causing the ntfs4dos chkdsk program to trip over?
    Please Please help.
    Thanks

    Are you having any problems with the computer/ hard drives?

    When you run chkdsk /f from the command prompt in XP and choose y to run on re-boot does it run OK?

    What is your purpose in running this ntfs4dos program?

    If chkdsk /f runs from the XP Command Prompt then there is no disk problem but most likely an issue with that software.

    If that error were legitimate you'd have a hard time using the computer if you could at all.

    No the hard drive doesn't have any problems
    if I do a chkdsk /f from within windows and then reboot, the chkdsk runs without a problem.
    All the ntfs4dos chkdsk program does is enable the windows\system32\autochk.exe program to run.
