The CHKDSK (Check Disk)Command
The CHKDSK command is used to check your disks for
consistency and errors, much like a secretary proof­
reads a letter. CHKDSK analyzes the directories and
the File Allocation Table on the disk that you specify.
It then produces a status report of any inconsisten­
cies, such as files which have no data in them.
To check the disk in drive A:, type:
CHKDSK A:
A status report will be displayed on the screen and any
errors that it has found.

NEWFILE.TXT
The name of a file consists of two parts: the filename
is NEWFILE and the
filename extension is .TXT
A filename can be from one to eight characters long.
The filename extension can be one to three characters
long or not at all. Extensions are another way of
distinquishing types of files. When naming your files,
never use the following names for filenames or exten­
sions as they are reserved for internal use:
