Hey there...

I have a corrupt FAT. I used to know of this utility called "fatfix" that sometimers could clear up problems with FAT. I do not have the utility, nor do I know how to get it.

It is a Windows Millennium machine. As soon as it goes into Windows, it locks up. Even in Safe Mode! When I ran a Scandisk, it came up with a bad FAT table...they didn't match...or something. Anyone have any suggestions?

You are sure that this problem is not just the symptom of a virus?
You have run a virus scan from DOS to check?
Regards, Chris
