- This program enables the user to easily determine what file a
- specified cluster belongs to. The first cluster on any disk is
- considered by DOS to be #2.
- Some utilities will check all the clusters on your disk to see if
- any are bad. But once you know which cluster is bad, you have no easy
- way of determining what file that cluster belongs to. This program
- solves that problem. You give it the cluster number in question, and
- it will search all of the directories on the disk to determine which
- file "owns" it. Once you have determined which file the cluster
- belongs to, you can then copy it to another place on the disk, or
- RECOVER it, or simply delete it. You may then use the MARK program to
- mark that cluster as bad.
-
-
- Command Format:
-
- OWNER [d:] n [[d:] n [...]]
-
- d: = Optional Drive Letter
- n = Cluster Number to Check
-
-
- Examples:
-
- OWNER 10 (Will tell what file owns cluster 10 on the default
- drive)
-
- OWNER A: 100 (Will tell what file owns cluster 100 on Drive A:)
-
- OWNER D: 5 12 (Will tell what file owns cluster 5 on Drive D:,
- and what file owns cluster 12 on Drive D:)
-
- OWNER 17 A: 7 (Will tell what file owns cluster 17 on the default
- drive, and what file owns cluster 7 on Drive A:)
-
-
- Revision History:
-
- Versions 1.00-1.52 Pre-Release Versions
-
- Version 1.60 Added ability to specify drive letter and
- multiple clusters on command line.
-
- Version 1.61 Fixed obscure bug that would cause "Appears to
- be lost" messages erroneously. Should also
- run faster in this version.
