- How full ar they? I have a 200MB drive, and (especially before
- service pack level XR-6055) it would take longer as more files were
- added to the system. Right now, I've a 50MB OS/2 partition (35MB
- used) and a 150MB data partition (110MB used), and it takes about 7
- minutes to inspect the disk after an abnormal reset. I've only had to
- do this once in the last month, though, and it was a piece of code I
- wrote that caused the crash (I fixed it, so nobody will be getting
- this in their downloads :-)).
